I have 2 horses whose insulin was over 1200half Quarterhorse mare. Libby is 11 and a QuarterHorse, Arab Warmblood. daughter of Target. Her insulin also was over 1200. We grow our own hay on our farm. They get hay cubes, timothy hay pellets, salt, flax vitamin E, bovine colostrum and jiaogulan and spirulina, and local first cut grass hay. My vet put them both on Thryol L to help lose weight. She didn't hae anything more to help and suggested Libby be put down. We also put them both on metformin for a time but didn't find it helped. On my own I tried psyllium once a month for a week at night to help them feel full for the night. Also tumeric was added to their diet Hope this helps.
