Hi, I haven't posted in here before but need a bit of advice.
I have a 17hh 7yr old Trakehner. She is in medium work, dressage horse.
Currently she goes out for 6.5 hrs a day on good grazing, and has 18lbs of good quality hay in the afternoon/ night. (always a bit let over in the morning)
She has 3/4 scoop of alfa A, 1lb of Baileys conditioning cubes and a heaped mug of coolstance copra twice a day.
She looks great on this at the moment but I am aware that the goodness from the grass will soon be dwindling and she is prone to dropping off in the winter.
I was thinking of adding a balancer, maybe Baileys performance balancer but with the copra i think it will be too much protein.
I can always up the hay and hard feed, but want to make sure her diet is well balanced. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
