How do you all keep weight on your Hunters? Mine is a bit of a stress head and wears his weight away really easily from being excited. He is already looking a bit on the lean side and we have only been cubbing twice!! He is being fed lots of hard feed and is out at grass all day and in at night. There is still quite a lot of grass in the field he is in so I don't think he is very hungry when he comes in as he doesn't eat much hay overnight - he just picks at a haynet.
I am currently feeding him: -
AM
3 x mugfuls of Baileys Performance Balancer
1/2 scoop of Alfa A Oil Chaff
PM
1 x scoop of Baileys No.4 Topline Conditioning Cubes
1 x scoop of Alfa A Oil Chaff
1 x cup of Farrier's Formula
Handful of Carrots
1/2 mini scoop of Cortaflex
He is due to be wormed so am hoping that should help. He has his teeth done regularly (due next month) and seems well in himself I am just worried he will end up loosing too much weight. Is there anything else I should be feeding him too/instead? He is ridden approx 4-5 times per week - mostly 1-2 hours of steady hacking and occasional schooling and is very fit. He is hunted 1-2 times per month on average throughout the season. At the moment he hasn't been clipped so has been sweating quite a lot which won't be helping his condition but he is being clipped next week.
Any advice please?
