Energy

[malibu211211]

Am starting to think Monty is going to need more than just fibre in his feed soon as his workload has increased and I want to keep the energy there.
What do you all feed for energy?

 

[H's mum]

What type of energy do you want - slow release or quick burst?
Also what type of fibre are you feeding and why do you think that your horse will need more than just fibre? There's a lot of energy in fibre as it's slow release.

I feed releve (saracen) and it's a fantastic slow release energy. It is an anti tying up feed too but it's a comp mix and the energy is just right. We started wiht saracen becuase you can feed such small quantities and still get all the goodness and we have one comp horse who is a very good doer so only needs the 1.5kg a day maintainence level. The other one is on enduro 100 which is slightly higher energy good thing is with saracen they have 4 comp (energy) mixes and you can start on sports horse mix and then move up which we have done with ours.
