Helloooo
with a very old TB with no teeth, I get through high fibre mashes like nobody's business. Being a chestnut mare,she is also a bit faddish so it's useful to swap round the high fibre part of her diet when she gets bored of one thing. The core of her diet is Calm and condition, which she does well on, but she can't eat grass, chaff or hay at all so we have to have a fibre replacer too. At the moment I'm swapping between the following according to her many whims:
Fast fibre
Sugar beet
Alfalfa cubes
Grass cubes
Tried readymash extra and she doesn't like that AT ALL which surprised me. Alphabeet is acceptable but obviously that's mainly sugarbeet and alfalfa anyway so not much change there from what I already have. She's ok on spillers high fibre but again gets bored easily.
Any others that people would recommend?
Thanks.
