We have him on cross roads. Should i change is feed or should i feed him more. He eats twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening. My mare is on the same feed and she is a big girl she does fine on it.

What does your vet say? I am worried you can see his ribs. Worm him in case he has worms. I think you should feed him more grain, and since he is not thriving, consider a change to a good mixed grain feed in addition to plenty of good, sweet hay. AS ALWAYS change diet gradually in horses to reduce the risk of founder.

Sounds like worms. Your best bet is to speak with your veterinarian he or she is the only one that can help.
