Another feed question again!!

[Mbronze]

As my mare is a very good doer (WB).

She is currently fed two nets of hay and/or haylage in the day and one net at night depending on availability.
Two feeds of 3/4 scoop of topline cubes, codliver oil and Selenium.

She has lost a bit of weight because i have increased her workload and she is starting to look really good now (no tummy)

They currently have very limited turnout so she doesn't get much grass, I was just concerned that i may not be giving her enough although she copes fine with work and doesn't look under/over condition.

Any suggestions are welcome if you think i have left something out of her diet..

If she looks good and feels good - then I wouldn't worry.

Although I have become a huge feed balancer convert, and as I feed very little hard feed myself I am happy knowning that by feeding the balancer my horse is getting a very good source of nutrition.

I agree with AmyMay - don't change anything unless you have to. If she looks and feels good then don't worry.
If she's changed shape then its probably because she's getting fitter.

a feed balancer, like baileys lo-cal, topspec original, equilibra or whatever is a good idea to make a) sure she's getting all the trace elements she needs and b) make her feel like she's getting a bit of hard feed and keep her keen to come in once the grass starts growing!
