Bag O’Bones: How To Get Weight On This Skinny Horse
Crandell KM, M Llewellyn. 2000. Bag O’Bones: How to get weight on this skinny horse. Equinews Vol. 3/4:15-18.
Four horses share a paddock. Three appear to live on air alone while the fourth is a rack of bones. The three easy keepers get barely a sniff of grain, just enough to encourage them to come to the barn. The resident bag o’ bones has been a nightmare to manage; every effort to add a few pounds has been fruitless. Beyond frustration, the owner is now dabbling in voodoo incantations, witchcraft and crystals in an attempt to flesh out bag o’ bones.
