As title really. My cob x hackney has put on a little too much weight on the No4 so I was looking at these as an alternative.
Thank you x

Never used them but the Baileys Website suggest that they are the "half strength to no4"
My girl is on no 4 at the moment and blooming. I am so happy with them. However she very rarely needs much in the summer so thought that instead of chopping and changing, if necessary, I would reduce the amount of no 4 and "top dress" with Baileys Lo cal as suggested by Baileys.
However, would be interested in replies to this thread

Hi SmartieBean09,
I have my 7/8ths TB back onto No4 after chopping and changing feeds/manufacturers for a while. I initially put both of my girls back onto it once winter started but the cob x has just started to look a little too good
Neither of them are on the full amount as they are on Baileys Outshine & Baileys Performance Balancer as well, and I had the same thoughts as you really by planning to feed reduced amounts and top up with a balancer.
However I would have to be feeding very small amounts to the cob x to keep her a sensible weight so I thought I would put her onto No2 so she can at least have a reasonable sized meal each time!

Ive done nothing but chop and change. Poor pony! Finally spoke to Baileys and their advice was brilliant. They even saved me money!!
No2 sounds ideal for your situation.
Let me know how you get on

As above really - usually use Baileys No 4, but when my mare begins to look a little too 'well', I change to No 2 (during the summer), or as at the moment - a mixture of both. I have tried other brands to try and reduce cost of feeding etc, but found Baileys suited her and in the end was more cost effective as I was able to feed less (she tends to box walk when given cool mixes).

Thank you everyone.
Batty100 I had thought about mixing the No2 & the No4 so I think if the No2 isn't quite enough for my cob x during the worst of winter I will mix them. They do seem a good combination so it's got to be worth a try!

I've used them in the past and they were really good, my horses never heated up on them, they kept a good topline and seemed to suit them. In the winter I would mix in no.4 cubes as well. I only stopped using them as the local feed shop stopped stocking them. Mine have been on the Spillers Slow Release cubes for the last 6 years or so instead.
