My new extremely skinny TB! Any advice gratefully received

I'm a big fan of D&H build up as it doesn't fizz them up but puts weight on & also baileys no 1 cereal meal with oil & hifi & add lib haylage
 
Oh yeah, forgot to mention oil. I feed my horses a glug (precise, I know

) in their feeds, and it makes there skin/coat in such good condition! I don't feed any specially made oil for horses, just sunflower oil, is really cheap, and amazing, and the horses love it

<font color="blue"> This is not true at all! Sugar beet (whether molassed or unmolassed) is a useful source of fibre-based calories containing about 12.5 MJDE/kg (dry weight) which is a similar calorie count to many conditioning cubes! I use it very successfully to keep weight on my elderly mare!

Agree, a very useful addition to the diet, even for laminitics using the unmolassed version. Feed something succulent every day...
