Feeding ideas please!

[only_me]

Horse has dropped weight recently & although is getting fitter/working a bit harder has dropped more than he should have. He gets all the hay he can eat (has one massive haynet which holds approx 1/2 bale and a small one which holds 3 slices In his yard) and is on high fibre cool mix & chaff. He is rugged accordingly although is not turned out in a field due to various reasons but is out in a wood chip area all day.

Are there any good fattening foods that I can add to his mix other than outshine (which didn't help him last year)? Have been told that Stam or equjewel may be good - any thoughts? Thanks

Add a good glug of sunflower oil to his feed, made a difference to mine, and her coat looks great too! Or try linseed.

I'd try some micronised linseed

Have you tried the BG Cool N condition cubes? I found those really good for weight gain without the fizz for my previous TB, they also helped with keeping an even amount of energy throughout schooling. I had him on Stam but was only half a scoop with about 6 scoops of Alfa A Oil, it kept his weight but gave more energy ... sometimes to much But hey his extended trot came along nicely lol
