How much are your horses getting fed

[riotgirl]

My Welshie is out in the day and in at night. She is on the starvation paddock with 2 short sessions in the regular field each day. She gets a token bit of hi-fi light, speedi beet and some carrots am and pm this is more to sto pher kicking off when the other gets fed than for any nutritional reasons. She also has hay during the day to keep her occupied else she eats the hedge.
My old girl is out in the day and in at night also. She is on the regular field and also has a haynet for when she wanders into the yard. She gets a scoop of chaff, a scoop of D+H 16 plus, some speedi beet and a cup of topspec lesisure balancer am and pm.

Pickle gets the following (please take into account we have NO grass at the moment) and he is ridden probably for 8 times a week minimum

1 scoop Hi-Fi
1/2 scoop oats
1/4 scoop sugarbeet

Twice a day

(PS please no critisism on what he is fed it is right for him)

my 17h is on really good grass, only just come back into work after a tendon injury and was on box rest all winter so hes quite chubby, he gets handful of hi-fi, 1/2 sccop of show and con mix and 1/2 scoop of energy cubes, garlic, biotin and joint supplement ! wen hes fully fit and showing i increase his energy cubes as travelling tires him out and he loses hi "sparkle" in the ring...

Mine are all on their own diets, same as they get all winter. I dont change anything. Mainly because they get worked more in the summer hence keeping the levels the same seems to work well. They're out 24/7 all year round. They're still getting hay in their paddocks, the natives are getting more so than usual but then I think that's because I had to move them into their summer paddock earlier than usual this year as the grass in the main field started growing so early, so they dont have much grass.

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

Mine is out 24/7 put the grass seems to have gone from "lush" to "mud pit" in the last 5 days

She is currently getting 3/4 scoop of leisure mix, corn oil, salt, joint sup and a h/f of Alpha A. although she is generally a good doer she came out the end of winter just a little under what I would like as I think she got a bit stressed the last few weeks wanting to be out. I'm hoping to move her onto just a balancer in a couple of weeks though.

Mine is on box rest with an hour or so out on a bare field every day, and is getting two ish scoops of alfa a per day. She drops condition easily (looks bad, flanks sink, gets ribby) but has always had a big belly and her belly is also finally going after 3 months of this. If she were out she would be getting a scoop or so of Happy Hoof and probably not much else, as we have new fields this summer and they are very lush! So she'd be out on that at night (with a muzzle on). Last year she was on good but not necessarily lush grazing overnight, and a scoop of Happy Hoof and one of Top Line cubes per day as she was a ribby beast last year.
