Whilst my mare was unwell she lost loads of weight and condition (like a HAPPA case )
she was just filling out nicely too on her new feed. (ill approx 10 days ago - field injury caused colic, been on anti-biotics for 8 days and bute for 6 days, large swelling under belly which has gone now)
Shes 16.1hh TB, 4yrs old - hoping to ride her at the weekend after 3 weeks off. Shes out all day and in at night, rugged up well and nice and toasty.
Shes currently fed -
ad lib hay
2 feeds per day: per feed she has 1 large round scoop baileys conditioning cubes, 1.5 mugs of baileys outshine and carrots.
Someone told me that barley is excellent for weight gain.
Can anyone advise how much she should have and if i would be better introducing a lunch time feed or adding the barley to her breakfast and tea?
Barley rings?
thanks
