Feeding my young horse

[jolie1234]

I have a Belgium warm blood cross gelding who is 2 this September.
I want to make sure hes getting all he needs out of his feed,

Any suggestions?

Does he get any feed at the moment? For a young horse a balancer in a small fibre feed would be my choice.

If he is a warmblood x he is probably a good doer and slow growing. Don't over feed him. My ID x is 2 in may and gets hay/grass and a mineral lick and looks fab.

He's just having a scoop of happy hoof when the others get fed, he is normally a good doer but the grass isn't the best with all this weather so it's just until the grass grows back

My 9 month Warmblood is fed a cup of suregrow balancer in the evening and a handful of chaff in the morning (as other youngster fed twice a day - just gives mine something to do).

We have no grass ATM so on top of his feed he is on a two slice hay net for the day (to share with fellow youngster) and then at night we put two haynets (both have 2 slices of hay in) up in the shelter for them.

That's all he's on and he's doing fine, I wouldn't say he's overly well covered but he has enough on him for now. He's been on that all winter.

Another vote for Suregrow. That's all mine has apart from mag ox, plus hay and grass. He's a very large WB and I don't want him fat. He looks good on it and has fantastic hoof quality.
