Beau has a tendancy to heat up when on mix, even cool mix. So I have removed it from his diet as for a start I will not be doing as much as Louise was doing with him, and he is a very good doer in a massive field!
He is currently getting the remains of the Alpha -A that lou gave me, Happy hoof, Sugar beet and codlivine.
I have to say that he seemed pretty 'wired' yesterday, and was extremely lively in his box, and when being ridden.
He is a 15.3hh Shire X, and is stabled.
I know happy hoof has some nuts in it, but do u think they will still heat him up? And he should be fine without mix yes? He survived 2 winters ago with just wet chaff and codlivine powder and was glowing! I just dont want to be depriving him of nutrients etc.
I personally dont think that he really needs fed at all as before I got him he wintered out unfed with just hay in the field as was the size of a house(but he wasnt ridden), but he gets so upset that I feel bad and give him something, even though he gets TWO haynets of Haylege a night(he only ever eats one and a half but its in case he doesnt get turned out till later).
