Dodsal and horrel vs top spec for stamina please help

[Gryfiss]

Hello current horse needs more stamina he's on 1.5 stubs scoop of top spec cool and conditions ts comprehensive balancer and 1sc dengi hi fi .

He really does does just die after 10 min as of Sunday I started him on propell plus to see if that helps but thinking of changing his food.

spoke to top spec they said to add another 0.5 scoop of cool condition and then try giving him 100g of turbo mix 1.5hr before lesson / work.

dodsall & horrell recommended putting him on stay power cubes 2 scoops a day and leave the balancer and pp out as it's already complete.

has anyone else had any experiences with either feeds plus I struggle to get volume down him and can only get there twice a day . Should add he won't eat Alfa a .


please help I don't want to send him mental as he's only 4 but on the other hand thelwel kicks really don't do anything plus spurs and a whip so feel a change really is needed thank u x x

I'd suggest you change to one of hte Blue Chip balancers or Dengie Alfa A balancer, both of which have around 1mg of organic selenium per 500kg horse per day, which is more than most other balancers (other traditional balancers either use inorganic selenium which isn't as available, or they use a mixture of the two).

Selenium is really important for muscle health and it's quite possible that a horse appears to lack energy if they aren't getting enough of this vital mineral. If it is going to make a difference, you should notice an improvement about 4 to 5 months after starting on a full ration a day. I say this on the basis of regular blood tests with my gang of 5 ponies, all of whose muscle enzymes have reduced (and work tolerance increased) when switched to organic selenium.
