ok i have horse who had quite a severe episoide of tying up in autum since then her diet has been changed completely. the problem is she has dropped weight although has never been a great doer in winter. she is now one stub scoop of hifi and i stub scoop of ers pellets with seaweed twice daily she is in very little or no work as just backed rising 4 yrs old. she also gets adlib haylage any ideas what else can have without giving cereal starch etc to risk another episode. noit keen to up the ers pellets as she becomes an idiot it getting to much
 
Linseed is definitiely good. How about something like cool stance copra or equijewel? Or the winergy feeds look good for Epsm/ horses that tie up. Or Saracen Re- leve?
 
might get her some linseed been told to stay away from the alpha a as to high in protein all to confusing if you ask me lol thank you

ah ok - sorry!
def recommend linseed then :)

ETA - something like speedibeet/kwickbeet? that's high MJ/KG but fibre based
