Morning,
I'm just after any advice and experiences on feed.
I have a TB Gelding ex-racer. When I bought him, he was in extremely poor condition.
The previous owners had him on Allen and Page Calm and Conditioning, Baileys No4 and Pink Mash.
I kept him on this and built him back up. Over the year that I have owned him, he looks an entirely different horse. However, during the summer months when he wasn't on his feed, just grazing with the odd bit of hay. He was a much calmer horse. Now that he has come in for the winter and is back on feed, he has been acting out of character and is really quite fizzy. I have had him checked for everything teeth, back etc with no issues.
I spoke with someone from the local equine shop who has done nutrition course and has plenty of TBs herself and has found Baileys No4 makes alot of TBs a bit nutty but A&P C&C was fine. However, I've heard from a few people that A&P C&C has also made their TBs a bit bonkers.
He had impaction colic last year, so he needs a mash type feed. So, I was recommended to keep him on A&P C&C but also use Dengie Healthy Tum and Baileys Low Cal Balancer.
He isn't the greatest doer. Hes currently only in light work.
Any advice and experiences would be appreciated.
I have added some pictures of what he looked like when he arrived and now.
TIA.
