My new horse is currently being fed 1x stubbs scoop of happy hoof in the morning and night, with the recomended serving for 600kg of saracen shape up balancer mix.
Magnesium and Biotin.

11-12kg net of mixed hay and haylage - trying to transition back to hay.

Im needing to build his topline am i feeding him correctly, also want to promote coat shine.

Hes a 16.3 cobxwarmblood, so can be fizzy.

I can't comment on the feeds, but I have found including a routine of gentle stretches and daily backing up has helped my horse enormously with his topline.

I know that feed isnt everything - we are currently doing a lot of pole work, in hand work, bum band work, and hill work
Here's my progress photos of day of arrival and 4 months later following in- hand raised pole work, lunging with persoa, labyrinth and other physio derived exercises and feeding myoplast. I also used a brilliant physio and incorporated the elasticated bungee saddle cloth that your probably referring to. 🙂

It's hard work but something I look forward to doing with my next horse having seen how much it can improve core and topline.

The right work is the answer however because my horses are constantly on restricted diets I give them the supplement myoplast when they are working hard .
