3yr old(not backed yet) very good doer,gets hifi lite,baileys low cal balancer, soya oil,carrots,apples.I haynet of haylage per night (out during day no access to hay).Still is overweight
What would people suggest cutting back on to help reduce weight given that you want him to get vits he needs ?
 
Soya oil and swap Haylage to hay

Thanks.Swapping haylage would be difficult as YO only makes haylage and would probably struggle to get hay.
Getting rid of Soya oil friend would be ok with.
 
As other have said, cut out the soya oil
How many carrots and apples are you feeding? It seems silly but too many can add weight as they're quite sugary
Also how much of the hi fi and balancer is he getting, could be that he's just getting too much ....
 
Well not my horse its a friends,(she asked what to cut)Someone said cut balancer keep chaff or could put onto happyhoof but don't know ratio of feed to vits for that.She's already cut out sugarbeet.
Gets handful of hifi lite(I would say large),1 apple and 2/3 large carrots and bailey's low cal for vits according to instructions
