horse diet -is this ok?

[weebarney]

Im switching to low sugar starch diet to improve hooves, this is what i'm thinking of getting but please tell me if If any of this is not necessary as this stuff isnt cheap for me to buy

micronised linseed
a hoof supplement - i was thinking either pro hoof or equimins hoof mender pellets, which is best?
brewers yeast
Some chaff to bulk out the feeds for the greedy ones so they dont nick their neighbours food.

I also have baileys lo cal and speedi beet at the moment, will it be ok to feed these alongside the new diet til they run out?

Don't think the brewers yeast is necessary if feeding pro hoof or equimins hoof mender pellets. Would also use the LoCal Balancer before switching or you will be over supplementing.

Speedi Beet will be fine to continue with.

Make sure the chaff is unmollased.

ok thank you! I may just start the pro hoof with the one with the worst feet and use the lo cal up on the others.

Yes agree don't use pro hoof plus baileys. Are your horses shod? Iv got both but really noticed the diet change in my shod one, she was ready to be shod 4 weeks after being done. Grown so much hoof it's mad.

No non shod, due to being out of work while i was pregnant etc but hoping to bring them back into work barefoot.
