Not Getting Output Needed

Jweim (28)
Okay, So I have this program and it's trying to output the type of horse and then how much food it needs. However, the program won't execute when it gets the to if statement checking the weight range. Here is what I have:

Add temporary code to print the horse type before line 24. Maybe the value isn't what you expect it to be.

Nevermind. The problem is that the compiler doesn't interpret the code the way your indenting suggests. It's actually like this:
