How do I get weight back on my 30-year-old pony?

Hi, I have a pony of 30 who has lost weight and got really thin because of the wrong feed 😔 Does anyone know how I can get the weight back on him despite his age? I need all the help I can get! ❤️

Hi, by the time horses reach that age their teeth are usually fairly worn, so it matters to give them food that does not take much chewing. Alfalfa pellets, oil, sugar-beet pulp and minerals make a good base of feed that is easy to chew. Introduce any new feed gradually over several days so the gut has time to adjust.
