Struggling with a Skinny Horse? Here’s How to Add Condition Safely

Struggling with a Skinny Horse? Here’s How to Add Condition Safely

It’s one of the most frustrating challenges for horse owners—your horse is eating, wormed, and rugged, but still looks ribby or lacks the muscle definition you’re after. Whether they’ve just come off the track, are recovering from stress, or are simply a hard keeper, putting on weight the right way matters.

Adding weight isn’t about feeding more grain or sugar-heavy feeds. These can cause metabolic issues, erratic energy levels, and even colic or laminitis in sensitive horses. Instead, you want to focus on building healthy condition, especially muscle mass.

That’s where EquaCare Protein Booster Pellets come in.

These pellets are a targeted, nutrient-dense supplement designed to help underweight or poor-doing horses build real topline and condition—not just fat. They’re packed with highly digestible protein and essential amino acids that support muscle development, coat shine, and strength.

Why your skinny horse might not be gaining weight:

  • Poor quality protein in current feed

  • Dental issues or poor digestion

  • Insufficient calories from forage or fat

  • Recovering from ulcers, stress, or illness

Why EquaCare Protein Booster Pellets are a game changer:

  • Low sugar/starch formula = safer for sensitive guts

  • High-quality plant-based protein = efficient muscle support

  • Palatable and easy to feed, even for fussy eaters

  • Works well as a top-up to your existing feed

For best results, feed alongside ad lib hay, good pasture, and a healthy oil (like EquaCare Omega Oil). Within weeks, you’ll likely see improvements in your horse’s coat, muscle tone, energy levels, and overall body score.

When it comes to weight gain, don’t just feed more — feed smarter with EquaCare Protein Booster Pellets.
