My horse is in hard work and will soon be hunting/competing at least once a week over the winter. He's ridden at least 4 times a week so is fit. The problem is when we're hunting or doing lots of heavy/strenuous work, he tends to lack stamina, or at least get tired easily. He's fed ab lib hay throughout the winter, and last year he was fed a combination of chaff, competition mix and micronised linseed which he did go well on.
I'm wondering though if competition mix is the right way to go, or is there anything else out there that people recommend for maintaining energy & stamina. For reference, he's a 11yr old, 16.3hh ISH, so has no problems maintain weight.
Any advice appreciated.
