Can anyone recommend a feed balancer that is high in Vit e (at least 3000iu per day) I have started using the forage plus winter balancer but it is so expensive. My horse has a mild shiver so has to be on a high fibre, low starch & sugar diet. Thank you

Thanks sooo much for your replys, I have a 17.2 ISH who is very long :0).

Any advice for a hacking bit for my 17.1 6yr old ISH horse? Had him since Sunday and hacked out on Tuesday in a snaffle, was fine on the way out but on the home he chucked in a few bucks when Cantering an was very strong, I couldnt hold him. Also any bitting ideas for schooling him as still...

Thank you for all your comments, Im new to the world of ISH, always been a TB girl, lol. Well I took him out for the first day today, with anither horse, he was fine going out, snorting away as all new to him, had a very steady canter and he was fine, although on the way home we had a canter...
