Going to camp in a few weeks, need some advice!

Going on a camp soon and we have to take our own hay. Obviously they will be in for about 20 hours a day, so will probably need to take quite a lot with us! My pony is used to being turned out at least 10 hours a day, but is quite laid back and been to camps before, so this will not be a problem, however I was wondering whether it would be worth giving him some hay replacer to keep it a bit more interesting for him? He has Hifi in his normal feeds, so was thinking I could give him a trug of that, maybe with some readigrass or similar? Do you think it's worth it or am I just over complicating things?

He will probably be fine with just hay, and there is a lot going on at camp and lots to see all the time, he won't get bored or anything.

You could give him a bucket of hifi at night in a separate bucket from his feed - just something different to occupy him, but in my opinion not necessarily need from a nutritional point of view if his hard feed is correct.

What hard feed will you be giving him?

His hard feed is 1 1/2 mugs Spillers lite balancer, 1 1/2 scoops hifi, 3/4 scoop Spillers slow release cubes, salt and probably NAF enerG, split between 2 feeds. I'm sure the hay will be fine, I just have a habit of over complicating things, I was just thinking it might help to keep it a bit more varied and interesting for him.

You might not need the NAF enerG if he is not used to being in so much, he might have plenty of spare energy anyway!

Have a good time at camp - this year is the first year my duaghter is not going as she feels too old (16) - shame, her horse loves it.
