Weight gain has to come from ingredients horses' bodies can actually use: fibre that supports the hindgut, protein that rebuilds muscle, fat that fuels without chaos, and forage that keeps the whole system steady. When you feed for biology instead of urgency, the weight comes back cleanly, the topline rebuilds, and the horse’s whole posture and comfort shift in the right direction.

While it's tempting to increase weight rapidly with high sugar, empty calories, this can cause a range of other problems in the long-term. For overall health over time you are looking to supply dense calories that contribute other properties to the whole diet.
