How are 2yr old looking? also...those with very dark bays/brown horses

Okay here's my welsh D colt - he is 2 1/2 yrs old. He lives out 24/7 and is rugless with a sheltered field.
He's just started having his hay at around 4pm which is equivalent to around half a small bale, no hard feed just yet. When the temp dips i will be haying him in the morning too with probably the same amount (or making it up to ad-lib). There is a bit of the green stuff about - but its slowly disappearing
When i do feed he will be having sugar-beet and chaff 2 x per day- would you feed anything else along side this? ie a balancer/mix?

How is he looking? (he's standing on an uphill slope here)

2nd cob!
She's a 4 1/2 year old, very good doer, out 24/7 - rugless in sheltered field.
She has been turned away since June and will be brought back into light work/hacking in Feb.
She has a bit of grass about in her paddock still so is getting 3 slices of hay around 4pm.
When it gets colder she will be having hay ad-lib too. Sugar-beet and chaff will be on the menu for her too - again would you add something to this?

I think he's looking fine! My natives that live out naked, aren't having hay yet, they only get hay if it snows or there is a very hard frost. Mine each get a scoop of graze on chaff, 1/2mug micronised linseed and benevit advance. Very cheap to feed but I'm happy they're getting everything they need over the winter.

He is looking fine. Unless the weather gets much colder or anything, I would be tempted not to feed him but put out a weather proof salt lick for him, and when the grass goes give him plenty of hay. Weight wise he doesn't won't to lose or gain anything IMO.

He looks quite porky to me (no offence), and I would be trying to get him carrying LESS flesh. I wouldn't feed him until it snows or he starts to lose: good opportunity to get the excess weight off.

Looks identical to my 2yo!
As in if they were in the field together, I'd be liable to take the wrong one home. Same colour, same markings, same condition. Mine is in winter condition ... bit chubby (mostly hay belly) but not fed and will be lean by spring and grass growth.
