    How to make him gain weight/jumping/new

    Hey there :]

    Names Caitlin and I'm new this website! 

    So anyways, my friends horse who I lease needs to gain weight. But I dont know what to do since I work only on friday. And I can only give him sunflower seeds on friday unless I go out there when I can with my friend who works out there. But heres the thing, he eats out side with the some other horses and theres no count on him getting the rite bucket so all the horses get the same thing :[ Plus he can't get a stall since theres no room.. So anyways,have any ideas?

    And also, I really dont know where to post something else so I'll post it here with this post :]

    Pacino is the horse, hes an arab/TB and hes 15.3 I think. Well when he was on the other side, [ we have 2 barns where i'm at] the electric fence wasn't on. So he jumped the fences.. ALL of them. And these fences are 4 feet high. Others are 5 and hes jumped both. But his left rear leg has been hurt a year ago and it likes to come in when he walks. And I'm the only one who rides him since he hasnt been ridden in 6 months cause no one else will! So anyways, after I gain more weight on him I would love to jump him but I dont know if his leg would take it. 

    Thanks for reading! <3

     Corn oil is excellent for weight gain.  As for the leg, that is a discussion for the vet.
