Looking to see if I'm missing anything with feeding by orange chap.
He is a 6yo 16.2hh TB, typically light in the frame and always seems slightly underweight. Even when he was turned away for a few months on 15 acres of good grass he still didn't get 'fat'.
Now by all means I don't want a fat horse but he will be showing this year and could do with some extra condition. His topline is developing nicely but I think this is also not helping him put on weight as all his energy seems to go into building muscle!
He is always a little ribby and I'd like him a bit rounder behind. He is particularly laid back in general so not worried about him hotting up but MUST be low starch and low sugar. He has been on the Agrobs range... didn't do him any favours.
He is currently fed the following -
Alphabeet
Alfalfa Pellets
Healthy Tummy
Coolstance Copra
NAF EnerG
I have recently (2weeks) switched him from Micronised Linseed to the Copra to see if it makes any difference.
I have been recommended Equinox as an additional.
Any recommendations gratefully received!
