    She's been seen by the vet? Does she free-feed? How old is she? How much exercise does she get? What breed is she?

    The vet was just at my cousins house...thats the thing, she stays at my cousins and I' worried shes not being cared for properly. Does it make sence that my cousins horses are fat and my horse is the only one that is thin?

    The vet was there becuase we were getting coggins done. We asked him to take a look but he said she just needs to be upped on grain. That was about 2-3 weekas ago. Guess what...nothing has changed.

    You didn't mention the breed of horse or the age. Some horses need more hard feed but I wouldn't up the grain if she isn't exercised. Have you tried soaked beet pupl, this can put weight on a horse in a very short time, make sure it's soaked overnight and during the day for night feeding. It also won't make your horse antsy like a heavy load of grain, plus it won't founder the horse. Your horse needs free choice hay, not rationed for meals.

    I would have her checked by the vet, something is just not right. Those ponies are tough little guys and can get fat on air, doesn't make sense that she's thin.

    She's a pony so I agree with Shep she should be able to get fat easily.
    Could you possibly go down and feed her?
    I don't see why your cousin wouldn't be feeding her or would not feed her enough. Do you pay for your horses food?
