replied in veterinary but basically, yes I feed it and "poor doer" TB does really well on it. So well only on one feed a day and it's fed with chaff, speedibeet and Pink Powder.
TGM advised me about it as it's cereal free so it might be worth PMing her.

I used to feed it to our daughters comp pony who seemed to get too fizzy on the normal comp mix. She was eventing and BSJA'ing.

tried it on my warmblood mare and TB, didn't see any difference to Spillers Horse and Pony cubes, so couldn't justify the extra expense.

I used it briefly when I could not get the Dodson and Horrell Staypower cubes and found B was a bit flat on them. The spillers cubes have digestable energy of 11MJ/Kg wheras the D&H are 12.5, the starch content in the D&H at 10% v 12% for the spillers. It depends what you want really - I need a reasonable DE with low starch (gets V tense on higher starch feeds) so although only a very small variance it made a big difference.

Find my horses do very well on it. 16.3 ISH, eventing, only gets three quarters of a scoop a day, but he lives out and has ad lib haylage. 15.3 WB x TB, will be eventing gets 1/2 a scoop a day.
