Thank you. I really don't mind how long it takes to bring him back i am in no rush I just needed you guys advice on the best way to do it. I'm sure there will be a few different opinions on how to do it and I will surely take your advice on board thank you. I have not used any tack on him at...

Hi all! I just wanted some advice really or if anyone has any experience with this topic. There is a horse that has been living out for about 11 months and all of that time has been off work too. He is about 16'2 ish and is not really a good dooer as I have to constantly rotate him between...

Thank you TGM, that's basically all I needed to know, if she's fine with just ready grass and balancer then so be it. She does eat it but lately she has been a bit fussy not finishing I just didn't know if she doesn't need as much or if she was bored and just wondered if anything could be added...

Lol I must admit horsey shopping is quite addictive although that's not my intention, I am taking all of your comments in as I just really wondered what would be a good "mix" simply to give her a bit of variety and increasing her work from very light to frequent/moderate

She was originally on alfa-a / balancer and speedi beet when I got her so I gradually adjusted her diet based on work load/condition etc I tried her with ready grass and balancer and it seemed to do her good, I think some people are mistaking me wanting to over feed or give her molasses based...

Thank you, if I do use it to mix it up a bit i'll get molasses free, also considering Dengie hifi lite with her ready grass / balancer...

That's a true comment and fair enough. I do also believe that forage is generally all they need I just don't feel like I'm feeding her she's always been on either Alfa A and balancer or speedi beet which I do not Wish to feed her anymore. I just wanted if its ok to add a small handful of happy...

Hi all, my TB mare has been on ready grass and opti gain balancer for a few months after taking her off Alfa A due to simply being in very light work, I want to add something to her ready grass/balancer mix just to give her a bit of variety as I feel like her feed is pretty boring! Has any of...

Thanks ! I will look into all of the above im also wary that being a mare there are limits to what she will accept without being too harsh on the mouth. I'm willing to trial and error though until I find the solution. The spoon bit does look like it could work.

Hi all, I have had my ex racer tb for a few months now and as far as I know she's always been ridden with a basic snaffle bit. (For over yen years at least). Her favourite party trick is putting her tongue over the bit which as you can imagine is frustrating as well as potentially dangerous. I...

- thank you! Yeah I always ask if im not sure of something it's been quite a while since I last had a horse aswell as them all being different I've forgotten a lot of the stuff that used to be common knowledge to me so I'd rather just ask advice and always better safe than sorry. I introduced...

Hi all I would really like some advice or feedback from you guys. I have recently taken on a tb mare 19yrs on full loan view to by. she's recently been on Alfa-a with lo-cal balancer mixed in. And of course plenty of hay. Today her owner came to see her and suggested starting her back on speedi...
