Just added a few extra dates to calendar and was wondering if should reconsider feed regime.
Pony is a good doer and fit. I just want to check im not taking advantage of the fact she is a good doer and will 'go all day' by not giving her enough.
shes 13.1, roughly 355-360kgs - this weight holds pretty much even if her condition changes as she is 'all belly' , feed doesnt seem to affect her weight too much - its grass that does.
She has 1 day off a week, and schools or hacks 6 days, competes most weeks.
she is out on average qual grass all day and in at night to 1-2 sects of hay depending on size. when she changes to good qual grass she will wear a muzzle as its very rich and she will ballon. She is fed twice daily 1 stubbs scoop Dengie healthy hooves plus supplements vit/mins etc.
been going ok on that so far, done few days drag etc. but have the following planned so upping the game a bit.
any suggestions appreciated - not sure whether to slowly increase a bit now or see how we get on - im of the school of thought if it 'aint broke dont fix it, just want to get some opinions.
