Hi all. I periodically muse over feeds to see if there might be a better combo out there...
Over the winter I fed graze on, speedi beet, linseed and pro balance and he was fine - looked good, rode well and sensible, but perhaps could have done with a little more oomph, and seemed slower to build up any top line than before.
Horses were turned out onto summer fields, living out, in April. Plenty to eat, but just forest grass, not seeded fertilised grazing if that makes sense. Horse now not particularly interested in even a token feed, and since the new bag of pro balance arrived, is refusing to touch anything it is in...
In slight desperation, I've put him back on safe & sound. He likes it but can't get a full ration into him when he's living out...
To top it off, the yard has strangles, so any progress We'd made in terms of building topline and fitness now down the drain and he's now in one of the winter fields and scoffing hay, so not much grass out there.
The tricky bit...he is definitely intolerant to alfalfa, and I've been told before to avoid soy too because of that.
Had been debating something like Bailey's lo cal balancer with graze on etc as needed...
Suggestions on a postcard please! 😃
