how much do you spend a month on feed?

[siennamiller]

I am working out how much I spend and need to feel better about it cos it is far too much.
Speedi beet £10
chaff (happyhoof) £10
hardfeed (saracen releve and oat and barley free)£20
Oil £15
vit and selenium £8
(epsm horse so special diet)
a xx

I think Bean's feed works out quite cheap.

Mix- about £8 per bag, lasts 4 wks
Chaff- £3, lasts 6 wks
Cod Liver oil- £11 per thing, lasts ages
Garlic- £15 which lasts 3 months (ish)

Not bad imo!

 

[Bozzy]

2 x luciebix = £19.40
1 x purabeet = £6.70
1 x Blue bag grass nuts = £7.50
Cortaflex every couple of months £45
Calmer £20

 

[laura_1983]

have you tried alfa oil for your shivers horsey? boy i used to have got that and a little less oil as he wouldnt eat oily feeds! dont know if its any cheaper than your happy hoof or would last longer, might save you a little on the oil though!

 

[dwi]

She just has Happy Hoof and that lasts me about 2 months, longer in the sumer. I have a mussive tub of Equivite that cost me £45 but is lasting months so good value. D is really cheap to feed

For a 16.1hh SJ, a 16.3hh in foal mare, a 13.2hh retired pony and a little donkey I use per month;

2 bags of Copra Meal - £24
4 bags of Competition Mix - £28
20 bags of carrots - £10

Also approx 7 large bales of haylage at £105

 

[scrat]

For my 17hh Veteran;
Top Spec Senior £38 (lasts a month)
16+ mix £8
Chaff £9

plus carrots,apples and polos so about £50 - £60 a month but Top Spec worth every penny!

 

[LadyLuck1]

For my 4 I am approx £200 per month (3 of them are youngsters and take some feeding to meake sure they get all they need to grow) This doesn't include supplements (I use Cortaflex and Probiotics, Garlic and respirator)

I'll swap my feed bill with any of you!!

 

[josie_s]

I think I really rather not work this one out

currently feeding 7

including 2 hunters and 3 show horses getting ready for the coming season. Too scared to write down

 

[Breezesbenefactor]

£0.00....just don't need it hack for 2-3 hours with 1/2-3/4 schooling 3-4 times a week....very fit for age however does get mineral lick and a Dengie lick during Octo-Dec to perk her up a bit

 

[siennamiller]

well some of you have made feel better and some haven't -lol!
Might try alfa a oil, thanks to the poster who suggested that

 

[Whpmylife08]

We pay - Mollichop - £5 (lasts 3wks for 2horses and a foal) DH competition mix - £8 Ride and relax - £9 Spillers stud and youngstock mix - £8 Shreds - £5 Bran - £7 Build up cubes - £9 and carrots £1.50.

 

[Honeypots]

I spend approx £12 a month on hard feed for 5 nags ranging from a 15.1hh cob to a shettie

 

[KatB]

Hmm, approx £14 on topsepc, £9 on a bag of Hifi and prob about £15 on Baileys endurance mix (bag and a half a month)

SO not alot really! He does get a bit of ALfa Beet too, but since I have only brought one bag this winter, it is negligible really

 

[YorksG]

Apples and garlic for the Appy, so minimal cost
Speedibeet, apples and Garlic for the big girl (two small handsful per day so the bag lasts a long time)
Alfa-a, Old Faithful special blend, garlic, flexijoint for the 14:3 retired lady, so she is the most expensive of the lot

DON'T YOU EVEN BUY HAY ??

 

[pepperandoran]

About £60 ish per month - thats for a good doer warmblood and a 32 year old pony who does not keep weight well.

Was worse last year when I had a skinny thoroughbred instead of the warmblood!!!

 

[Solstar]

For 2 horses, a 16.1hh TB in light work and a 15hh 18yo in Medium work it'd be.....erm...
(i'll probably be shocked when i work this out)

1x Alfa A @ £8
1x HiFi Lite @ £7
4x H&P nuts @ £6
2x Economy mix @ £6

total- £51.00

luckily, it's split between me and oh.
