I don't know what starts with a C, but I know for a fact some horses can get injected with things and have complications one of which is muscle wasting. A fellow board member here owns a horse with chronic muscle wasting, because of a bad reaction to a strangles shot and then steroid injections.Which causes the horse to be skinny. If it is not managed carefully, it could easily produce a skeletal horse. I don't think I would jump to conclusions until I had all the facts. Find out what the horse has first.If you don't trust your BO to screen out horses that could have an ill affect on the herd, maybe you need a new barn.

I don't know. I trust my BO to feed my horses. If they are "pastured" on a dry lot, I would assume Hay is being provided at the least.Could it be that the horse wasn't being fed properly and that prompted the new barn? Also how would Cushings translate to "a disease because he was injected with so much during his racing years, that he now can't process the food he is given, and therefore its why he is this skinny."? Honest question!! There is a lot to this we don't know to be name calling. I guess I am a neglectful owner as sometimes I do not see my horses for a week at time, sometimes more. I am battling a "skinny" horse myself. (I is cranky today.)
