I have a 16.3hh tb who is in medium work (has been upped in recent weeks),lives out on okish grzing 24/7 but lives in a night during the winter. He currently eats 2kg of enduro 100 ,1kg of top spec flakes and two large heaped scoops of alfa a a day with a good glug of soya oil,hoof supplement andelectrolytes when needed. Has been on this diet for about 9 months and has always worked pretty well in keeping weight on and giving him enough energybut where the work has increased it isn't working so much for him anymore. Isn't really your typical tb as is quite lazy at home but does have the odd outburst(fairly sure this isn't feed related - just the one brain cell combusting!!!) Have had him on conditioning mixes in the past - looked good but even more slug like to ride so swapped to a comp mix and had more energy but ran up light and looked like he was back racing. Can't have pencils or anything with high level of sugar beet in. Any ideas to give him good energy levels for work but equally put some condition on and keep it on??
