Slave to 2 cats and 2 ponies
Other than thin soles which vet and Farrier think is a genetic problem DP has always had very good feet. Recently I have noticed separation between the hoof wall and white line and Farrier suggested he wasn’t getting enough protein in his diet but nothing has changed so I’m not sure why it is happening now.
During the winter he gets either grass pellets and Honeychop Lite & Healthy or Dengie Grass chaff with kwik beet, salt and a Forage Plus anti lami balancer. He isn’t overweight but does have EMS so I have to keep him on a low sugar/starch diet of less than 10%. Forage wise he has been on the same good quality meadow hay or haylage from the same supplier for 3 years. Due to the Connie going on hunger strike I have just swapped them both on to Pure Easy which has a balancer in it as it seemed to best option for an all inclusive EMS friendly feed. Just to add he can’t have anything with alfalfa in it as it sends him crazy.
Other than Pea Protein is there anything else I can add to his feed to balance out the possible deficiency that won’t add sugar as he just can’t tolerate it at this time of year.
