Advice/Reviews Please

[lana.1]

Hi, would someone be able to give me some advice/reviews?
My 5 year old is currently on Allen&Page fast fibre.. doing well but need a TINY bit more energy as he is worked hard & gets tired.
I was thinking of changing to calm and condition A&P? Just wondering if anyone has tried this as I do not need him any sharper - just slightly bit more energy and condition most importantly.
I've heard mixed reviews about calm and condition.

Thanks in advance

Hi. Calm and condition is very high energy compared to FF, you may be better off with Cool and Collected?

I used to feed my old TB on calm and condition, he was in medium/hard work and it did a good job of keeping the condition on through the winter. It never made him more silly than he was already! You could always introduce oats, they have a bad rep but introduce them gradually and be sensible with the amounts? I find they are less heating than barley (barley has more energy and less fibre) and are more easily digestable.

I am pro-oats ATM because my recent horse wasn't doing well on pre-mixed conditioning feed (not the A&P I might add, I know theirs is predominantly sugar beet)- too heavy, too much sugar etc. So now I mix my own!


Feeding is a fine balance and before you start mixing it up I would do some research/get impartial advice

Take it easy maybe and when he gets tired, finish your session, he's still young and muscles take time to build up a does fitness and stamina...

Exactly my thinking ! At 5 they are still maturing
