as he doesn't eat much bulk.
I've moved the ponies to a new field where there is lots of grass which they are loving. He's lost a lot of condition and we are trying to build him up a bit. Hopefully the grass will help but we've been feeding him speedibeet which is great but makes LOADS and actually he doesn't eat much - quite often food left in the bucket when I go back the next morning. He's been getting a scoop of speedibeet a scoop of dengie hi fibre nuts (which I think are not calorific enough), a carrot and was getting a basic chaff which I have taken out as all it did was add bulk. Oh and a scoop of outshine. And some oil.
Thinking of changing to three small feeds of baileys no 4 plus pink powder, ad lib grass obvs. He just ignores the hay.
OR I could cut down the speedibeet and mix with Alfa a oil and pink powder?
Feeding is a minefield, all the ponies we;ve had previously have been fantastic doers, our NF looks in show condition despite being basically ignored over the last few months
