If the horse is being fed an adequate diet, the most common reason for weight loss is tooth problems. Horses' teeth often wear unevenly when they eat, and can eventually develop sharp edges or other surface problems that make it difficult to chew properly and get enough nutrition. This is especially problematic in older horses, which need routine tooth care.
Fortunately, you can easily solve the problem by having your horse's teeth floated (filed) by the vet or an equine dentist.
If you're asking about a problem with a real horse, please consult your veterinarian.
Horses may lose weight on the same feed due to factors such as inadequate nutrition in the feed, poor quality forage, dental issues affecting feed intake, metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, or underlying health problems such as parasites or ulcers. It's important to evaluate the horse's overall health, diet, and management to address the underlying cause of weight loss.
