Feeding Advice

[Henry.Col]

Having "downgraded" from high maintanence TB to lovely connie I would like some advice on feeding a good do'er - something that has becom foreign to me over the past few years!!

Bailey is 4 and growing and in work on a daily basis (moderate) and competing at low level. Currently barefoot and hopefully staying this way! Currently feeding performance balancer but is now in majority of the time so was thinking of introducing ready grass or similar? I'm not particularly impressed with the baileys balancer so alternative would e great!!

Thanks!!

What is it about the Bailey's balancer that you've been using that you've not been happy with?

I'm not sure it is any better than the lo cal balancer - it is quite expensive with a lot of hype but wouldn't say it has improved condition/hooves etc.

I use fast fibre as the main feed for mine, it is safe for the feet, non heating and fairly low calorie so I can feed as much as I want, in the winter I am adding micronised linseed which is good for condition, improving coat and feet.
It is fairly cheap, very easy to feed just needing a minute to soak.
