I have been feeding coblet around 2 coffee cup's of oat each day for over a week now (since he started coming in at night). Prior to that he was on 1 coffee cup a day for about 2 weeks.
I can't say I've noticed any real change in him - for the first few days he was definitely more forward but since that coincided with the temperature dropping and him getting clipped I can't say for sure it was the oats.
I took him jumping this weekend and he was the flatest he's every been - no energy or ooomph or interest in what he was doing whatsoever. I'd taken him for a 7 mile hack the day before and although he wasn't tired he again was quite flat and lazy (but he can be like that to hack sometimes).
He's having a day off today and getting a massage in case he's sore somewhere. I've also put him back on the Kossolian blood salts just in case he needs a bit of a pick me up but I was wondering if it's even worth trying to up the amount of oat's he's getting?
He's not fat at the moment, in a reasonable about of work but given the lack of any impact the oats seem to have had so far I wonder if I'm better just accepting that oat's don't make any difference to him!!
