Ever since I have had her, my mare has been fed ad-lib haylage and 3 shortfeeds a day containing half a scoop of cubes and a big double handful of hi-fi lite. She has always kept her weight really well, but recently she has lost a tiny bit. She is currently the fittest she has ever been and has started going jumping once a week, and I have done quite a few sponsored rides over the last few months. Obviously I won't be doing any sponsored rides now until next year, but she will be continuing to jump once a week. What can I feed her to help her maintain her weight? She was having a bit of barley in her feeds at someones suggestion, but she rubbed terribly and was covered in sores and lost most of her mane. I was also told when i bought her that she has a slight sugar intolerance, so need to bear this in mind.
