Hello,

I am a Newbie and I come from Germany.
My filly Batoul (Arabian) is very thin and my stallion Tamer+mare Baska (Arabian) are fleshy.
What can I do?
Have a nice day!

For very young horses, the pastures are your best bet. Your foals will be on the very thin and thin scores even on pasture, but they'll bulk up quick. Don't worry about losing any of your horses to obesity or starvation. This isn't written in to the game (at least not yet). But we've been told to practice maintaining and regulating their feed because that day may be coming.

Currently, the only thing that weight of your horses affect, is competitions. Keeping them in a barn helps to maintain perfect or near perfect weight as well as temperament for competitions.

Breeding stock (any horse that's not in training or competition) can be safely ignored for weight and temperament.

Here's some additional hints.
Maintain enough energy each turn for training, by supplementing baby horses on yellow corn or weight gain.
Grass is highest fiber and will draw temperament of the horse downward toward bombproof. The next option would be alfalfa cubes, but that comes with it's own issues.
You can choose incrementally for feed, use this to your best advantage, not every horse will have the same incremental balance to maintain just what you want.
Pregnant mares often will need 100+ percentage food, to maintain their weight, as well as foals will need this.
To help a horse loose weight while maintaining energy, use 95% corn and put them in a barn.
To help a horse gain weight while maintaining high temperament and when this horse is a pony or mini (harder feeders), use corn and pasture and check every turn before moving them back to the barn. Manage high temperament as necessary (barn turns to pull the temperament back upward).
