Ok so I am trying to build mucsle on my mare. She is walked out in hand twice a week (can't do any during weekdays as it is so dark when I get up there) Lots of hill work, walk and trot for an hour or so. She is currently fed a handful of happy hoof and scoop of Garlic twice a day. Is there anything else I can feed her to help me build the muscles up? Once the saddler has come, I am going to pay my YO to ride her out once during the week too. We are also waiting for the lights in the school to be done. She will be long lined when this is completed.

She is a good doer, so I am looking for something that will not add too much weight on her.

Thanks in advance
 
Agree with Mince Pie. The only thing I would add is that it should be correct work. So make sure she walks out with purpose, maybe do some pole work to get her lifting, do some in hand lateral work to help build her up.
