I am currently using Alfa Beet for my old mare who tends to drop weight. She loves it and it definitely seem to be doing the job!

SWUO is on a balancer and a sprinkling of fibre nuts
Luke is having Stud Mix, stud balancer, is on soaked grass nuts too but am going to change that to either speedibeet or alfabeet once the bag is finished.

Obviously I'll be constantly reviewing their feed regime as SWUO doesn't need any extra weight on her, and I need to make sure that the little fella grows nice and evenly whilst still maintaining his condition etc.

Donkey - who through HAVING been lame is obese - so all she gets is sunflower seeds, garlic and handful of AlfaA and a handful of mix and now superflex.

Topspec leisure time and a large handfull of Hi Fi so that her supplements are easier to mix in, Just brought her off Speedi Beet as she is a very good doer and have moved onto very good grass.
