What could i put in my good doers treat ball

[starry94]

I have a very good doer who is stabled at night and gets a handful or 2 of dengie good doer in the eve as well as a small holed haynet. last week i found my treat ball after having a sort out and i was just wondering what people put in their treat balls if they have good doers? i dont paticularly want to buy a whole seperate bag of food just to put a little in each night, are there any low-sugar treats or something? thanks

High fibre cubes
Chopped up carrot
Low sugar chaff

 

[DoesDressage]

Baileys high fibre cubes

 

[ebonyallen]

I put chaff in mine with cut up bits of veg

 

[Chestnut mare]

Low calorie balancer such as spillers lite?

 

[Holly Hocks]

I put Spillers High Fibre Cubes in mine - keeps them occupied for quite a while.

 

[Chellebean]

I would put chunks of sweede in mine (if he had one)

His dinner! Or half a handful.

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Your chaff and a chopped apple or carrot

My guys get conditioning cubes in theirs but they are poor doers. The pegasus cubes are quite good if wanting a cube to go in. I got a bag off a friend and the horses fair cleared the up

I put Rosehips in mine, supposed to be a good joint supplement too.

B gets conditioning cubes because she is underweight.

T gets his tea in his, mixed with chopped up hay to slow down the amount that h can get out

Badminton hifibre complete nuggets. Suitable for laminitics and fattys! My cushings boy loves them, and they are harder to get out than most pellet feeds as they are nuggets. They come out easy enough but dont pour out like some pellets do, takes them longer as only 3 or 4 come out on each treat ball turn (in oval treat balls and decahedron ). It is a whole bag of feed though not huge bags- heavy but you get through nuggets relatively fast- and have a good life span and work out much cheaper than buying treats etc .

thank you everyone!
has anyone tried putting chaff in it? does it fall out quickly?

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

I put readigrass in mines to stop he nuts falling put as easily

 

[Welshie Squisher]

Diced veg works well and I add just a few pony nuts for interest, although mine love swede, carrots, apple and bananna's without the nuts as well!

My lass gets feed merchants own brand pony nuts. She's spoiled

When my mare was in, she had her breakfast in her treat ball to keep her occupied. When she does just have it as a treat she has either some mix or some chaff. If she's lucky she gets a few apple flavour treats mixed in with whatever else is in it, but that's not often

I put spillers hi fibre nuts in for both of mine and greengold (chaff) to slow them down.

 

[moodymare123]

If he's a good doer I wouldn't put chopped up vegetables in there, as high in sugar!

 

[milesjess]

Spillers treats... Low cal but they are shaped awkwardly so don't fall out easily.

Mine gets his balancer pellets in his ball
