Wondering if anyone can help.

My 28 year old has been on rowen & barbery mash with honey chop lite and healthy with bosweilia and mint and vits and minerals for about 4 years.

She has now decided that the lite and healthy is the work of the devil and she will not touch her dinner with it in. She loves her food and she really doesn't like it.

She loves the mash however but without a chaff she inhales it, so she needs something to make her chew and slow down.

She has no issues with teeth but it does need to be laminitis and cushings friendly and she is a good doer. Don't mind extra herbs etc in there. She is in light work, ridden for 4/5 days a week for about 40 minutes a time.
Preferably not break the bank either!

Every time I read some info it's perfect in one way but has too much sugar and my head hurts!

So wonderful HHO what do you feed your elderly, bonkers good doers with health issues?!
 
My 28 year old does this too, I keep the lite and healthy and alternate between Pink Mash, Fast Fibre , Pure Meadow Mash and soaked hay cobs as the Mash bit, and that seems quite acceptable, and prevents boredom with the feed.
