He is ultra-fit right now, pretty sure he could complete a 25 mile endurance ride and not blow out a match.Geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227341683468384886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060914556405700309.post-62753134814298004132013-06-13T14:29:36.604-06:002013-06-13T14:29:36.604-06:00Yep -- that's what my calculations ended at to...Yep -- that's what my calculations ended at too. I had omitted this bit from the entry for sheer boring-ness, but since you bring it up: with SP, if I did the loading dose for U-Gard, it would get free shipping, but only for that one month. I could add something else, but really, I object to feeding my horse stuff he doesn't need just to get free shipping on packaging, basically. Plus, none of the other horses at the barn use SmartPaks, so I couldn't add my order to theirs or anything. We're kind of a DIY place, I think. *grin*<br /><br />So yeah. Buckets and baggies it is!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717721719853988310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060914556405700309.post-85559374669161726652013-06-13T12:21:15.713-06:002013-06-13T12:21:15.713-06:00Ah the skinny TB dilemma.

If you add all those things at once, and he does gain weight, you wont know if its the dewormer, or the rice bran, or the cool calories, or the u-guard... which makes your life harder later when you may want to reduce one or all of those things. Something to think about. And I second SB's smartpak supp assessment.

Making baggies or scooping yourself for one horse is really not that difficult. ;) It's a massive pain if you're doing it for 3 or 4, but 1 is fine. <br /><br />Have fun with the weight battle! I always think it's easier to manage than an overweight horse.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060914556405700309.post-512039869945306072013-06-12T14:22:47.019-06:002013-06-12T14:22:47.019-06:00I think that's how I'm going to end up doi...I think that's how I'm going to end up doing it. :) The prices at two local feed stores have the SprinklerBandit Seal of Budgetary Approval!

I have my auto ship stuff from Smartpak and the things I use on occasion or seasonal- electrolytes and bug off- i buy at the freed store Karleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196824979284472867noreply@blogger.com
