Newbies first winter with me - she's an ish but there is def a good dose of tb in there as she is quite fine. She's currently unclipped, out 24/7 in the main on decent grazing (circa 5 acres with two others) in a no fill t/o (moving to a filled rug at night now it's getting cold). She's in lightish work - worked 5/6 days a week 3/4 schooling and 2 hacks (not fast). She's started to drop a little weight which is fine as she's put some on over summer but I didn't not want her to drop anymore. She currently gets a handful of TB hay cobs, formula 4 feet and some chaff (not alfalfa). What can I look to add to just too this up - I'm not sure upping the hay cobs will be enough. I want to keep her feed simple and whilst a bit more oomph would be ok that's not the aim. Previous owner didn't feed her but she was on haylage (in overnight).
 
Hi, I have a 4 year old Irish Cob that seems intent on staying out through winter. I am ok with this but would like advice on what best to keep him on feed wise to maintain his health & weight please. He is currently on Calm & Condition, Competion Mix, Cooked Linseed & doing great.
