• The easy keeper's diet: managing the horse who lives on air — Some horses get fat looking at a pasture. Managing them isn't cruelty — it's the kindest thing you can do, because the alternative is laminitis.
• Putting weight on the hard keeper safely — Before you dump in more grain, rule out the reasons a horse can't hold weight. Then add calories the way the gut can handle them — slowly, and mostly from fat and fiber.
