    My 16.1 ish is in a standard full size. The first time I tried it on I thought it didn't fit - you need to spend some time playing around with the settings.

    Salt v electrolytes ??

    My horse is a fusy eater. He is currently fed on topspec balancer and cubes which he seems to really like. Topspec have said to add salt to his feed which I have tried (a tea spoon) and he doesn't like!! Is adding salt to the feed the same as adding electrolytes? Is there any particular...

    Feeding advice please....

    Feeding advice please....

    When you say hard feed, do you just mean the mix?? He was on much more last winter! I don't think he is stale. I never do the same thing twice in a row and he's out somewhere different every weekend. He's also just had 3 weeks off. I do appreciate the suggestion though!!
