My daughters truly wonderful old pony is a 13hh 24 year old section b with cushings, contolled by 1/2 prascend a day. He came to me on the poor side, I went wild with the feeding and because he was unsettled about moving and then full of food he frightened my daughter witless! I came to my senses and realised that Rome wasn't built in a day and softly softly with the weight gain was the sensible approach.
He now has D&H Cush Care and soaked hay plus a reasonable amount of grass over the summer. He has steadily put on a bit of condition. He has had very bad laminitis in the past so once the Autumn grass came through I have been very careful. He grew a teddy bear coat so was clipped about 3 weeks ago as he was struggling with the heat of the day when working. Over the past couple of weeks I feel he has gone backwards a bit and I'm just wondering if there is anything else I could feed alongside that might help now the weather has changed?
