Managing Horses with Metabolic Issues
What metabolic horses will all have in common is that they need stricter management than your average horse, often with careful consideration of their sugar and starch intake.

Full instructions for use come with the weigh tape. If you are using a weigh tape to monitor changes in condition over time, make sure to always use the same tape, the same surface and measure at the same time of day for consistency.
For reference, record your horse's weigh tape reading when their Body Condition Score (BCS) is ideal.
