Why Horses Become Underweight

It is unusual for us to see horses who are thin and underweight. And the most common cause of underweight horses is
dietary issues, dental issues, parasites, and underlying health problems. Consulting a veterinarian is vital as your horse’s
weight loss may not be because of poor eating conditions.
Of course, in helping your horse get back to their normal weight, it is best to monitor their behavior and activity, and also
check their dietary plan it is still appropriate. Good dental hygiene can be a factor as well as your horse may be suffering
inflamed gums or gingivitis that hinders your horse from eating.
It is also recommended that you provided a vitamin and mineral supplement to ensure their balanced diet. You can also
let them in the open field and allow them to forage in hay or grass. With this, they can eat as much until they are full.
