Hi all!

I recently sat down and properly analyzed all my geldings diets, and have found we are deficient in most of our essential vitamins (the B's, A, D, biotin, and some minerals).

I looked into a few different options, and Red Cell appears to be the most efficient way to add in everything we're deficient in... caveat, Iron would double what it should be.

What is everyone's experience with feeding Red Cell, and what multi-vitamin do you use if not Red Cell?

TIA

Ok horse friends, breeders, the like.

I have a KWPN weanling (11 months, almost a yearling).

I CANNOT get weight on him. He’s on the upper threshold of Triple Crown Growth, though it’s ever increasing (just like his height), he gets flax, a straight fat supplement, free choice Timothy hay, and alfalfa.

He’s skinny, gangly, and I am banging my head trying to get him plump. The second he starts to look good, he gets an insane growth spurt and he’s scrawny and skinny again.

Vet says he looks fine, but every other baby I see his age, they all look plump.

How have you gotten weight on and KEPT weight on your ugly yearlings?

Pic of the scrawny bastard from tonight to appease the masses.
