Injured pony is coming back into work and looks a little light due to a growth spurt (bum high!!) and the grass dropping off.

She's always lacked topline and was poor when we bought her last year. The 10months out of work and mainly in her box haven't helped.

She's 1515hh, 5, riding pony (Mainly anglo Arab) and quite fizzy/stressy.

She's currently fed 1.6kg dry weight Alfa beet between 2 feeds, a mug of gain balancer and a handful of hi Fi molasses free in each bucket. She gets readigrass and as much hay as I can get her to eat (3/4 slices and a slice of haylege a night).

Last winter we added top spec conditioning cubes and that was okay, but they did send her a bit fizzy so wondered if there was something better for her. It's awkward because just as she looks a good weight and ready to build muscle, she shoots up and goes all light!

She's not massive on chaff, hence the Alfa beet.

Any ideas?
