My new horse will only eat cubes. Slowly training him to eat alfalfa/barley/oats but not quite there yet.
Have finished off the stud cubes I had left over so need some more cubes in the meantime.
The best please?
 
Spillers slow energy release cubes - great for the higher feeding requiremetns

Plain old H&P cubes

Pasture nuts
 
I used the spillers ones for abit and found them very good.

Within a month, my horse had but on enought weight i stopped giving them to him.

The riding school i work at uses baileys.
 
The only conditioning cubes I have used have been Spillers and Dodson & Horrell Build Up. Of the two, the Build Up worked the best but worked out very expensive

top spec cubes are good IMO, and just under £10 for a 20kg sack. Had Pidge on these now for a year, he was previously on the Super conditionin flakes by TS.
 
Settled for Spillers in the end.
Dislike Dodson and Horrell, didnt have Top Spec and wont buy Baileys on principal. I dont think he would eat Calm and Condition - has to be cubes.
Also picked up 'Lynn Russell hoof gloss' (liked the tub), any good?

Thanks, I am sitting here housekeeping servers when I could be out with the horses and that quote had given me the giggles and brightened up my day.

Lyn Russell stuff - have heard some very good things about them - but it is expensive - the stain remover was twice the price of any other so decided to stick with good old washing up liquid, equine blue, leg whitener and elbow grease to remove the stains which works for me most of the time.
