As title says!
Could do with more condition without added fizz for my mare who is dropping quite a bit now workload has been upped considerably and feed must also support muscle growth as she *hopefully* will be muscling up more with increased work.
However, every time she has tried an alfalfa based feed she has become vile to handle and ride and seems to be completely intolerant to it so alfalfa based feeds are out (had though about Winergy until I realised it was alfalfa based!).
I'd also prefer something low starch and low energy as she has more than enough energy atm!
She currently gets a small scoop of Hoofkind and a glug of oil and is rising 5 so still growing (+ adlib good quality hay).
Have had her on Topspec Conditioning flakes in the past but she is feeling particularly "well" atm and I'm concerned it will give her energy she doesn't need but I have a suspicion the cereal free conditioning cubes have alfalfa in them??
Other thoughts are Equijewel or Outshine (or similar) but I'm loathed to try them if I can achieve the same effect with oil from the supermarket!!
Or possibly a linseed based nugget/meal???
ETA - she is also a fussy eater and will happily turn her nose up if she doesn't like what you put infront of her!
