What do you feed yours and what work load and condition are they in?

Anything you swear by for your lami ponies?

Anything you wouldn't touch with a barge pole?

Many thanks
 
Mine are on hay, soaked or not depending on the frozen tap syndrome..

Handful of fast fibre or Speedibeet and relevant minerals and supplements..

Pedal bone rotation horse free schools in the school occasionally, can have turnout with a muzzle whilst mucking out and in hand walking..

Pony self exercises and gets turnout with a muzzle to stretch her legs..

When the spring comes in I'll adjust the exercise..
 
My lami is on 2 cups of fast fibre and a cup of l-mix by allen and page, along with unsoaked hay- not your typical lami- prone to dropping weight easily and only got lami by breaking into the feed area and gorging on a bag of baileys 17... He's in work about 4-5 times a week and does a bit of everything- but we were lucky and you can only tell he had lami from the ring around his hooves :) had him condition scored by a nutritionist and he's spot on, no pics recently unfortunately xxx
 
My pone had one acute episode, no rotation. Due to being overweight and some too rich haylage when we couldnt get normal supply due to snow (nothing could get in or out so we had to use what there was).

She has 12 hour soaked hay (2 medium nets a day), the 1 slice of hayin each is mixed with oat straw, plus a small puddle of hifilite in a bucket just to get her vit/min supp in.

She is turned out during the day. She was in a grazing muzzle but keeps making her chin bleed even tho it fits snugly, so I need to find a different one (current one is shires)

She was in a nice bare paddock but unfortunately has recently decided that electric fencing (working, on) is no barrier to a hungry pony and just charges through it over it or under it....:-O So for the moment she is in a field with more grass than I would like, simply cos it is the only one with big high solid fences she cant pee off out of.

So not ideal at present; am saving up to post and rail and horse mesh the bare paddock.

I am also worried as in a few weeks I have to have a major op and so will not be able to ride for a number of months which wont help. So that field cant get fenced soon enough!
 
A carrot or some bread for dinner and a handful of a hay at night abd us out on not a lot of grass in the day. (he's a miniature Shetland)
