I loned out my one of my cracker fillys to a youngin this winter. Mainly to get some saddle time on her. She soon got poor from lack of feed and I got her back and she's fine and comein back. I've wormed her with safe guard 3 time in one week and will do it this week to. But in the before pic of a horse inthis forum. It shows this little neglected mare with what looks like belly fat. My filly did that to. Its not sore at all and feals like fat. Its goin away but not gone yet. The horse in the after pic has hers gone. My cusin called it baby belly. Said it had somethin to do with blood wormes. Yall got any ideas? I can post a pic or her belly. Got 2 in my blackberry now.

I think that pot bellied look happens when the nutrition hasn't been what the foal needs to grow properly.
Kinda like the pot bellied people you see in nations where people are starving.
Humans, animals, especially young ones, need nutrition. They
just can't eat nothing of value and have something to digest.
In the foals case, I'd say it
had forage that wasn't digestible and lacked nutrients.
As a result they eat a lot of roughage they can't digest and get a big belly.

The boy heelin is in the top 10 in highschool rodeo team ropein. He mised this cow twice, tryin to head her.ropein in the wood is diferent than in a arena. Then my little man slicked horned her his first loop. Yea, I'm bragin on him but that how it went down. She had a afterbirth hangin out and lost her calf. My son is on the paint. He's a surenuff cowhorse. The little boy is my adopted somethin. He claims to be my future soninlaw. He's got a good horse and he's makein a good little cowboy if hed just shut up.
