[Solstar]

just wanting to know if anybody find any of these feeds heating? trying to calm my horse down a bit but he needs a bit of condition on, been a TB who hates winter. thanku.

my tb has various feed intollerances and cant have anything on the list...!

I feed fibrebeet with Allen & Page ride and relax and non mollassed chaff and linseed - both my tb's look great on this....

baileys no 1 sent jay into orbit , the others have not but then he turned his nose up at them lol

I feed my TB mare baileys meadow sweet, baileys economy nuts and dengie hifi and she's been fine on that diet for several months now. All the other feeds we have tried have resulted in very excitable behaviour!!! She's much calmer now although she still can't have the recommended amount of the mix so I top it up with some benevit from Feedmark.

Alfa beet is fantastic stuff, really conditioning and non heating. Only thing that has worked for Zak, although i feed it with baileys outshine as well which is also excellent I have only tried sugar beet on your list and he goes sky high on that

I had the same problem with my WB - anything other than hifi lite and a few nuts sent her off her head - mix was banned as was sugar beet. My old TB could take sugar beet provided the chaff had no molasses in it.

Have you tried simple systems for your TB - mine have it and whilst they are not fizzy they do well on it and I have heard good things said for their diet from those with fizzy TBs.

For me, I like feeding forage based diet so they eat all the time.

We had a nutritionist in recently and she said that a lot of feed companies use sugar beet to bulk out their mixes and since I have acutally noticed that indeed most of the mixes we use contain sugar beet. So it's not surprising that some horses go nuts of certain mixes if they are already known to have an intolerance to sugar beet. Interestingly none of the 80+ horses at work have intolerances to sugar beet etc which you would expect in a bunch of young and crippled TB's.

I've not tried Alfa Lite but the original Alfa A used to send my horse quite mental. I think the Spillers forage range is quite good, compared to Dengie I mean.
