Feed suggestions

[Jesstiggs]

Hi

My boy has recently gone barefoot only on his hinds (for now), he was fed happy hoof, only a scoop with his supplements, but heard this has molasses init, so have switched to hifi good doer, which he ate fine for the first few weeks, as was mixing it in with the happy hoof, but will now not touch the stuff, can anyone suggest any suitable feed for a barefoot, good doer without giving any extra energy that may be a little more tempting?

Thank you

Fast fibre?

I swear by Alfa A. Mine has Alfa Oil but hes in medium work. You could use Original or the lighter or senior versions. Most horses love it.

Just remember alpha a and similar products have alfalfa which commonly conflicts with barefoot horses

Fast fibre is fantastic

Alfa a molasses free, Allen and Paige laminitic mix, beet, and linseed and brewers yeast. We feed TB's, ID's and Traks, all bare footers all blooming, all in work.

Fast fibre or speedi beet. Both cheAp and great for barefoot

Have just started using Top Spec Chop Lite and am liking it, as does the horse - big bonus is no molasses and very low sugar. It does have a littel alfalfa
