Anyone tried any good products/ feed for hotting up a lovely but way too laidback horse?
He is a 6yr old 17.3 ISH who has a wonderful temperament and tries everything that is asked but lacks "sparkle" and energy in the dressage ring. I am exhausted just after 1 test from trying to keep him moving!
He is on competition mix and oats which have had a bit of an effect but wonder if anyone has experience with anything else?
 
Top spec turbo and tiger oats worked treats on our lad...we gave the turbo as when we needed it for an extra, rather than as a normal part of his feed. The tiger oats were in everyday but we did have to soak/mash them slightly to get him to eat the quantity he had as he was quite fussy with them in. Tiger oats, if I remember correctly, are about 3 x's stronger in energy than normal oats, if that helps.
