Hi, sorry to be a pain but really want to put a bit of weight back on my boy!
Hes a 16.1hh Hann x Tb, 20 next year, and just does a bit of light hacking/lungueing/schooling now to keep him interested in life as he gets bored otherwise... he used to do medium dressage/newcomers SJ/JRNs with me... We've had him for 15 years now and hate to see the condition drop off him like this and we're not prepared to let him go downhill like this
He's currently on Winergy Senior, Spillers conditioning Fibre, a bit of linseed meal, equiveg sugarbeet (unmolassed but has bits of carrot/parsnip in it and he LOVES it!), a fair but of cornoil in the morning/equijewel in the afternoon.
Heas a really fussy eater and hates cubes (leaves thecubes in his winergy most days!), and also hates alfa A chaff...
So questions! Would it be worth me changing the winergy senior to Baileys no9 conditioning mix? I was going ot keep him on the conditioning fibre as its really soft... I was going to keep him on the linseed... And would bluechip or outshine be more effective as a conditioning measure compared to the equijewel/cornoil or is it all the same stuff? And although he loves his equiveg, would alfa beet be more conditioning? or if he hates the chaff will he dislike the sugarbeet too?
Sorry for so many qs!!! Any opinions/suggestions welcome x
