Baileys no 17 or 4

[equinedreams]

hi,

Has anyone used either of these? Am looking for something to put weight on a horse that is really quite underweight.

Thanks

No 4 was fab on my mare! I have liked all the Baileys stuff I have tried so far.

I have used both, mainly No17 has put weight on, non-heating and very much loved by the horse. I really like all Baileys feeds..

I use No 4, that combined with ready cooked Linseed piled the weight on my TB when he arrived. I think its fab stuff!

Hi, I use no 4 and mine have improved dramatically but a friend uses no 17 and hers looks amazing on it. We had a visit from their nutritionist and she said that although both are non heating, cubes are better for horses that tend to fizz up as there is much less starch in any cube than in a mix but that both should have the same results.
Note though that no 17 is over a £1 a bag dearer round here than no 4

True, I am not paying £9.50 a bag for No17

 

[K9Wendy]

Meant to say, I am NOW paying £9.50 a bag for No17

No 4 is much better, never trust a mix always cubes!

i use no 4 too but i soak mine mixed with speedybeet. my horse is the best weight wise and shiney wise on the yard atm.
hes quite fizzy too and feeding this has neither made him any better or worse fizzy wise if that helps.

Same !have never liked mixes... No.4 worked up to a point on mine, now he is on soaked oats but it did work..

My TB is on No 4 and I can highly recommend it. He is also on Baileys outshine this winter and he has held his weight really really well.

I used No 4 to put wieght on my TB at the end of last winter and it worked well. Will be using it again this year.
