Hi all,
Not sure whether anyone has done this, but I'm thinking ahead to summer, and what I'll be feeding my oldie. The 3 possibilities I'm looking at are D&H Sixteen Plus Cubes, A&P Veteran Vitality and Baileys No.15 Senior Mix. Has anyone compared these, and if so which one comes out on top? (or are they all pretty much equal?)
My other girl Saf, will probably go back on Bailey's Lo Cal as she looked fab on it last year, but Mist struggles a little with her weight (she's 24 this year) so would like her to have something with a little extra. She'll be doing hacking most weekends, plus schooling, some RC activities, in hand showing etc. Like to keep it simple and not have loads of different feeds (though might get some more linseed as they look lovely and shiny on it).
A couple of things to note, I like Baileys, the lo cal has done them well this summer, but they only do a veteran mix, no cubes, and I'm trying to keep Mist's food soakable to help her old teeth. D&H (Sixteen Plus) feeding recommendations are a bit mental, 800g per 100kg bodyweight so that would mean feeding Mist 2.4kg of it a day (and it'll cost me a fortune!) A&P Veteran Vitality feeding recommendation is more reasonable at 250-800g per day.
Any thoughts on this? Excuse my ramblings lol!
