Dodson & Horrell build up cubes?

[_daisy_]

anybody use them and got good results.

Since hunting Chantin on Boxing Day she has refused to eat her Calm & Condition so has dropped quite a bit of weight.
Been reading up on conditioning cubes and thought this one would be very good for her. Hopefully shell eat the stuff.
So has anyone used it or feeds it now. Have you got good results from it?

Build up is very good if you have a non fizzy horse

!!

I used to feed it my Arab all the time as he was not very fizzy, however I started feeding my old TB it and he went rather MAD! looked what was in it and there is quite a lot of Sugar things and Oats/Barley!

So yes its very good stuff, but only is you have a sane horse!!

oh dear - hope it doesnt send her whappy. Wouldnt class her as a fizzy horse but she does have her odd moments but what 4 year old doesnt?

this is what is says on their website about them

i fed my previous horse build up and it worked well for him. kept condition and weight

 

[beh]

i feed my horse them, all seems good and he looks well, and he hasnt heated up on them

*touches wood*

oh great - ***keeps fingers crossed***

 

[merlins-mum]

I used the build-up mix with great success on Merlin, who drops weight in the winter if he is kept out all the time. He's IDX, but stayed calm on them - no fizziness to report!

Ohh we were thinking about feeding this just a few days ago,

But I have a 4 yr old aswell, so I hope it dosent send him mad lol

He is really calm atm and I want to keep him as quiet and level headed as possible.

 

[_daisy_]

well I only started her on them on Friday so fingers crossed she wont change into a demon horse

 

[SJ_06]

Good luck!

I'm goin to see what vet says as he's coming out anyway within then next week.

 

[Baggybreeches]

Where's your sense of adventure? I feed mix to my TB and he seems to be sane (most of the time)! The mix is very good and he is a picky eater but really wolfs his feed with this in.

 

[SJ_06]

Just dont want to turn a perfectly sane horse crazy! Im sure it wont but seeing as the vets coming shortly Its worth waiting

 

[_daisy_]

dont like the idea of a whappy 4yo 17.2hh mare - cant see me sitting on it and staying put if it does one!!!!

 

[SJ_06]

lol!!
