Have used this in the past on a super fit cob x who I hacked out twice a day and hunted and jumped regularly . It sent him crazy, but eventually once he had settled on the extra energy he got used to it and it kept weight on him during cold winters and gave him more stamina.

3 year old mare,hacking out slowly . Nd her since a yearling and every winter she drops weight rapidly. On ad lib haylage and two feeds a day. But now we are in work she is bf, I am feeding speedi beet, fast fibre and spillers conditioning fibre twice a day, stabling at night with ad lib haylage she always has some left in morning, and 9-12 hours turnout a day depending n my work hours. I'm planning of turning her away to good grass in February , but I gave her two days trial packs of power and performance last big and night before ( one trial pack per feed) rode her for an hour today, the reason for trying it with her is I've been recommended it by Allen and page to keep weight on her due to extra calories. She was initially a little hot when we got onto the open sands a mile away from one, ut settled and produced some cracking work. I'm not worried about her being a little got to begin with out riding as she settled really quickly today after a little trot, but does anyone else feed it to bf horses ???? She's doing really well, never wears boots, is self trimming and rock crunching.... Don't want to change this
 
When I was researching the ap feeds or my pssm horse, I found them all way higher in sugar and starch than I'd realised. Would need to check the numbers again but was fairly sure pp was equivalent to pasture mix for sugar %! It does contain cereals so not ideal for barefoot. I was shocked their hotline recommended them to me as they were way put the recommended sugar and starch levels for my boy!! I ended up on D&H ERS pellets instead - high calorie without the sugar and starch.
