Recommend me some feed please?

This winter will be my first with my new mare and I am just starting to think about suitable feed for her having just used up what I had left over from my old horse! She will need something as she will be working, hacking/schooling/faster rides several times a week with a few outings hunting thrown in. She will pretty much be living out 24/7 all winter but in a huge valley where there won't be a shortage of grass, they will also get adlib hay once it really gets cold. She will be partly clipped.

She's only 6 and has been out on good grass all summer and is looking good, not too fat or thin. Her skin could be better, it looks a little bit scurfy at the moment.

I like the idea of feeding straights, I was thinking of some micronised linseed for her coat along with something else? Suggestions gratefully received!

Linseed, salt and some sort of token carrier. Grass nuts, sugar beet, grass chaff etc will all do. When its just a token its not really that important what you feed.

I feed grass chaff micronised linseed and salt and if I feel they need something else unmolassed sugar beet, it's quite a basic diet mine look good on it there coats are lovely and they have plenty of energy.
