Does anyone still feed their happy hackers over the summer when they are out at grass 24/7 or just leave them to grass diet only ?

Depends entirely on the horse and their type.
Once my lad in on grazing he'll still get a feed albeit a smaller one as he'll still require his vitamins and supplements.

Mine doesn't do a huge amount of work but didn't keep condition very well in the winter, so I'm hoping to use summer to get him in good shape for next winter. He gets a small feed after he works with spillers lami balancer, formula4feet, micronised linseed and top spec calmer. Doesn't need much but hoping this will keep all the vits and minerals balanced as we go into winter and also keep his mind on his work re the calmer!

My boy is a porky most of the time, only a hacker, hes ridden for about an hour tops 4 times a week, seems to stay v porky on grass in the summer and just his hay & balancer in winter, just wondered if its enough for him, just cos hes fat doesnt mean he gets all he requires does it, so is it worth giving balancer all year or dont do it.
