hi it says on the back of the back to feed up to 900 grams for weight gain on a 15 to 16hh horse and 220g is about a mug full so i think it would be easier for me to feed half a scoop in eeach feed coming out at about 1000grams.

i paid 32 pounds for the bag glad its not 40! yeah they have all been wormed and they had their teeth done last year. prob they do need to be done again soon but he is not dropping any of the food at all. i will keep up the outshine then and hopefully will see a differnce soon. thanks

i was wondering if anyone has used this and if it is worth the money? i am feeding two horses for weight gain. they are a 15.2hh andalusian and a 15.3 hunter type. the andalusian has been having one scoop of sugar beet and 2 scoops of alfa a oil twice per day. he was a also getting a scoop of...

i have a welsh sec c mare but she is unreg. i have had her for bout 12 years now and she has been a wonderful mare. we have had success in many different unaffiliated disaplines. she is good fun for any one to ride, great for the smallest child on the lead rein right up to show jumping and...

well i will give him about 3/4 of a bale overnight and will be out on grass in the day. should be ok becasue it hasnt been grazed yet this year. and i know there isnt much goodness in the grass now but he will be having 3 big feeds as well. 2 of the ponies wont eat much more than 1/2 a bale...

there was a big bale of haylege put into the field yesterday so now he can eat as much of that as he wants to, he is pretty much the boss in the field so wont get bullied off it. should last them a few days there was still loads left when i fed him this morning. and i have already ordered a...

got him!! we took all the other horses out and left just the mare. we put haylege in a massive fields shelter in the field and took the mare in and made like a runway on one side with a gate. then used rope to make a pen behind him. he ran and went right in the field shelter. once he was in...

the added problem that i failed to mention or two actually, one is there are 8 other horses in the field and all of them except one bully him very badly. if i took food in a bucket form they would all follow me and i would never catch him because he wont go near the other horses. today though...

i bought a pony from the sales last week and since then cant catch him. he is a 5 year old and broken to ride. so has been handled, only possibly not in a very nice way.... we can only get with in about 30meters of him at the moment so we are thinkind of herding him into a corner with lots...

we are moving on thursday now so he doesnt have to go very long with out hay. he livery owner says more haylege is being delivered this week well i dont know when that will be...... i think i might actually get barley rings for him, lots of people that i have asked have recommened them... i...

i spoke to baileys and she recommends baileys number 4 and i can still feed alfa oil with that but i need to increase the amount. he needs 2 kg a day of the conditioning cubes and at least the same amountof the alfa oil. she says i can feed 250ml of soya oil for weight gain and to improve his...

hi again, i am not new to horse ownership, just have only had good doers and last winter this horse was in 24/7.... is weight was good then but this year he has been off recovering from and injury and i am amazed with how much weight he has lost. i have only fed good doers so feeding to gain...

thanks for the advice. i will feed him about a bucket full of the alfa oil and sugar beet morning and night and see if that makes a difference. we are moving house in one week and then he will have a stable and i will give him haylege adlib. the vet will be coming out to do his flu jab...

hi, i have a 6 year old 15.2hh andalusian gelding that until now has had to live out. he has a heavyweight rug on and as from last week he has haylege in the field. anyway, he lost condition rapidly and the really cold weather hasnt helped. i have just started feeding him alfa a oil and some...
