We used it on a young skinny TB who had been on long box rest and was easily heated up and prone to colic (Bl**dy TBs).
It was brilliant. Slow steady weight gain. Good for the hind gut - it is all oil and fibre. Fab coat. No heating up. Easy to feed - soak like sugar beet for a hour or so before feeding. Took a bit of getting used to as it is quite sloppy but the horse loved it.
Available from Boomerang Stud (google it and it will come up). They delivered direct.
Only stopped using it when we moved yards and they supplied the feed and it seemed silly to pay twice but used it for about 2 years. I would use it again if I needed slow steady weight gain especially in a young horse. You can add stuff to it if you want but I think it is pretty much complete as far as I remember.

it is more or less a complete feed indeed
i added a few cubes and a bit of chaff to my boys just to make it a bit more interesting but not necessary at all
