My mare is fairly recently barefoot and my youngster is also barefoot. They're both currently on Dengie healthy hooves no mollasses. Both seem a bit thrushy, I've heard of this being exasperated by feed before? Would this feed be causing issues or is it just the wet weather?
I have also read in several places that people wouldn't feed this, but no explanation as to why. Any good reason as to why it would not be good for them?
Both go footy on alfalfa and I won't feed anything that's mollassed. They both get brewers yeast, micronised linseed, old lady also gets a joint supplement and slippery elm for her gut.
If not this feed, what's best? Mare doesn't need any calories, youngster doesn't hold weight as well, but I don't want him piling pounds on either. If I'm worried about his weight, he'll get more linseed.
