13yr old TB - feed advice

[Riding2020]

Had him nearly a month, wanting to better understand what feed he needs and see if what his previous carers advice on feed is appropriate now.

Like most say with ex racer TB’s, don’t want anything to make him fizzy.
Am riding him perhaps an hour a day 5 days a week. More than he did with his previous owner. He can be quite spooky on hacks by nature if that’s anything to mention. Super loving and docile generally to be around.

In process of getting his feet in better health so am thinking after reading about it. To add micronised linseed to his feed. Not sure how much?

He loves his hay! Grass is ‘ok’ where he is.

His feeding regime I got handed to me was
3/4 alphafa nuts
3/4 calm & condition
Soaked in water

morning & dinner

any advice? Thanks

What is his weight like, the above sounds quite a lot for this time of year on OK grass and light work. If he is spooky and a good weight I'd cut it down a bit and see if his weight holds.

A good vit / min supplement for his feet is worth it - lots of threads on this on here with suggestions
