Just thought I'd see if anyone else is suffering with the same issue this year,
I have 2 prone to weight loss TB's both exracers and have very slender frames. I am struggling to find a feeding programme that works to keep weight on and not blow any brains, and at the same time not costing the earth!
I have tried calm and condition, ride and relax, baileys topline, and all the general well known fattening brands, Last year I ended up feeding my gelding chaff, sugar beet and flaked barley and that only just held some weight on his quaters and the mare went bonkers so had to cut out her barley.
People have said to me about just feeding high oil chaff and sugar beet but they bothe event and work consistently hard throughout the winter.
Any ideas?
