Feeding a good doer

[Toast]

Ive posted about my younger sisters pony before and im just making sure we're doing the right thing in the way of feeding her! Shes native type, 13.2hh Welsh D x Exmoor.. relatively good doer in the winter..VERY good doer in the summer
Shes currently living on fresh air as shes out 24/7
This is her a few weeks back:

Over winter we had her on a big scoop of chop with a vit and min supplement. Sadly i dont have a pic of her in winter other than the one we took when we bought her and she was a wreck.
Does that seem right? In winter shes on ad lib haylage or hay aswell as her hard feed. Shes only in light work but we're building it up as we're reschooling her over summer.
What does everyone do with their natives?

Comments appreciated

If she looks fine on what she's getting then I wouldn't mess with it TBH, the less hard feed you can give her the better - much better with the haylage / hay and just a small feed with her vits / mins

She looks in fantastic shape so i would carry on what your doing

I have a native type, and he's out 24/7 with free-choice hay in the winter, no hard feed at all. Even in a poorish field, he's threatening to approach the spherical in shape in the summer, so he gets sent to pony jail (the starvation paddock) on occasion.

Pony looks to be in very good condition. My only comment would be to make sure that he is getting enought roughage if you've got him on a starvation paddock. When D is being starved I give her soaked hay out in the field so that she's still getting enough going through to avoid gut problems.
