Might be fattening up this horse, Laurie?

Social Circle, GA(Zone 8a)

Hey Laurie,
I *may* be taking this skinny girl. I remember the oil bit, any other suggestions? She is 12 I think and all I know so far is she foaled and got skinner when the foal was weaned. Where she is now, they've added beat (beet?) pulp to her diet and say she's gaining. I've read that this only causes them to gain water weight, and then I've read it helps. My concern is I don't see how she can gain weight only adding beat pulp-it doesn't have protein for building muscle.

If I get her I'd put her on Omelene 200 and free choice hay(Timothy), slowly ease into it. Maybe that will be good enough?

Can I fix her neck? It almost looks deformed to me it's so skinny. Her body is not as skinny as her neck...
