Feed for shire x

[Supertrooper]

Right my plan for feeding the big boy is, half a bale of normal square baled hay, 8-10hrs grazing, 1.5kg of fast fibre with succulents. I have thought of giving a small amount of mix (prob slim+healthy) but that's prob more for my benefit than his TBH.

Does this sound ok? He is obviously a big lad but want to keep in on the lean side xx

How big is he?

A pure shie on our yard gets through near enough a bale of hay a day plus a big bowl of chaff (at least a scoop), nuts (scoop) and sugarbeet (scoop)...

16.3hh, the amounts of hay are based on what he had in previous home and the fast fibre amount is from speaking to Allen+page xx

Our 17.2 shire x gets ( winter) 3/4 bale hay, 1 scoop chaff, 1 scoop ( already soaked) purabeet/lucie nuts twice a day plus Total Eclipse. In at night and out in day.

Summer he has 1 scoop chaff, 1/2 scoop lucie nuts plus Total Eclipse once a day.

my shire x is the fussiest creature ever! he gets half a slice of hayledge a night, eats about half of it, throws the rest around. goes in the field for 10ish hours a day, lays down for most of it. then gets 2 scoops of winergy equilibrium condition with linseed oil on an evening, of which he sometimes eats it al sometimes doesnt! hes abit thin atm but its impossible to keep weight on him! hope you dont have one like mine!!x

It will also depend on how much work hes doing and what sort of grazing hes on and weather conditions etc.
