My horse got the dreaded 'L' beginning of January. He was fat and had recently had a steroid injection for coffin joint arthritis, which I believe contributed. Has been on box rest with soaked hay and small feeds up until 2 weeks ago when the vet said I could start to introduce limited turnout with a muzzle. Also started light exercise.
He's lost around 70kgs and still has another 20 or so to go before he is at an ideal weight.
My question is what do I feed him going forward?
At the moment he gets Honeychop Lite & Healthy with a small amount of Speedibeet, supplement wise 365 Balancer, Mag Ox, Linseed, salt and Thunderbrook Laminease.
I would like to simplify this but still want to be sure he is getting all the right vits and mins as we are also trying to transition to barefoot at the moment.
He gets 7kgs of 12 hours soaked hay per 24 hours.
Ideally I would like a powdered supplement as I'm not keen on all the fillers that come with the pelleted balancers.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
