As title realy!! Can anyone suggest a good one for orses legs? Thanks.

lo cal! I'm now thinking stick to that at the minimum amount just with a bit of fast fibre. Or go for Happy Hoof on its own?

I am absolutely baffled by what to feed :( My mare is a good doer and whilst in work has been fine on a balancer having the minimum recomendation. Now she is on box rest I don't know what to do because the balancers say that the minumum amount must be given in order for them to work but if she...

Mine has a tear to the SDFT. It's the second time it has happened... both times whilst out in the field. Nightmare!!! Is happy hoof a complete feed or does it require a balancer / supplement to go with it?

I want to feed my mare a fibre based feed source to go with a balancer. I literally want it to bulk up her feed a bit. She does not need to gain weight and does not need any extra energy. Can anyone advise? There are so many to chose from Alfa A, Hifi, Hifi Lite, Cool Fibre, Alfalfa etc...

She has a tendon tear so it'll probably be 12 months before she'll go in the field again... She'll start an exercise plan as soon as her scans are good enough. I'm thinking of going down the balancer route... with a fibre... Alfalfa or something. Most of you have mentioned giving an additional...

She has 15lbs of haylage per 24 hours. She is perfect weight-wise - I guess if anything she could lose a bit!

She used to be on lo-cal ages ago (she was in work at the time) but I didn't look into those for box rest as I thought they'd be a bit much for a horse doing nothing... I'll have a look at them though :) No snack balls or anything unfortunately as she's in with a tendon injury so I don't want...

My horse is on total box rest (except for 2 x ten min walks per day). I want to feed her something a) because it is the highlight of her long and boring days and she'd be horrified at meal times if she was the only one without! and b) because I still want her to be getting a balance of essential...

I think I'll water it down. I don't want the cudes to go mushy though.. they look more appetising as cubes than mush, lol! Does Happy Hoof contain all the vits amd mins? I might consider that.. I'll google it now!

I am trying to feed a supplement but as my horse is only given a handful (literally!) of nuts for breakfast and then the same again for tea, the two scoops of powder cannot be concealed very well and most of it gets left. I had the idea to coat the nuts (and supplement) in molasses but my horse...

She is walked for ten mins in the morning and ten mins in the evening (although she is out of the stable for half an hour to 40 mins in the evening; ten mins actually walking and the rest grazing in hand). She can't do any more than this as she is in due to a tendon injury on a front leg. I...

Could anyone recomend any type of feed supplement for a horse (14yrs old) on total box rest (is walked for ten mins twice a day) as her legs are retaining a lot of fluid due to being stood in so much. The problem for which she is on box rest is unrelated but her hocks are very filled as are her...
