It's because a horse eats from the top downward. Plus you're probably trying to stuff too much down her gullet.Star Meadows wrote:try using a turn12brooke04 wrote:Hey so i need some help...

Switch her over to weight gain 100% and she's probably too slim, so add 5% performance. She'll gain weight slowly but also be able to eat all of that (assuming she's over 10 months old).
For in-depth explanations, see these two topics:
https://horseworldonline.net/forum/view ... 12&t=21884 - this one is for beginners on that 'first few days'.
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21892 - this one is for advanced management
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21892&p=149856#p149856 - this part is in the advanced management and specifically covers the issues with why a horse isn't eating right.
