Purina WellSolve W/C Horse Feed offers sound strategies for eliminating unnecessary fat and calories from the diet while supporting health and contentment. If eliminating obesity were merely a matter of cutting calories, you could simply cut a horse’s rations in half and expect great results. But that’s not the case.
