Roasted Chestnuts

Looking at this feed for my old guy should he look to be fit for another winter.
Looking to keep it simple so I would be feeding a dry balancer for Am feed before he is turned out and potentially this with a good amount of soaked grass nits and his hay for PM feed.
He is fussy and cereal intolerant and I'm sick of having to make concoctions to get him to eat and take his medicine. At present he is getting two small feeds one with balancer and grassnuts and his meds and one with grassnuts and a small amount of chaff both with some watered down treacle for taste. You are lucky if there is 2inches deep of mush in each feed. This is all I can get him to eat unless I leave him in for hours he's a pest.
He is being ridden 2/3 times a week just to keep him ticking over, nothing strenuous but we are struggling muscle wise hence the gentle exercise to help build him up. He is PPID and medicated and not a good doer. Teeth are good and appetite in winter is good just for things he cannot have
