I need to decide on feed for my mare for this winter (s. hemisphere here).
I've decided on a good mix for her, but she won't hold her weight on that alone, so I need to decide between the following.
Extruded barley or rice bran pellets
Copra or speedibeet.
She also gets a good chaff (http://www.fiber-fresh.com/equine/products/fiberprotect/) and plenty of grass and/or hay. She lives out year round, and is currently trace clipped (would be blanket clipped but she threw a strop and we couldn't do anymore). She's in light to medium work, six days a week.
