Going into winter, my boy (soon turning 20yo) will start to drop condition. He is currently fed on TopSpec Comprehensive Balancer which I like. I'm looking to add a forage base for weight maintenance. Last year he was on a molasses-free Alfalfa chop which worked for him. But I'd rather not feed alfalfa if there's an alternative having done a bit of reading on it. He's in light work (long walks 4 days a week) so I want something that won't hot him up.
I'm thinking of giving him a light oat-based chaff (TopSpec Lite or similar) to bulk the feed out, with soaked grass nuts for calories. I've never fed grass nuts before though, and keen to hear your thoughts on them. Pros/cons? I'm worried about energy levels, choke, etc - any experiences? Or recommended alternatives? Thanks!
