I would personally choose your fav feed company and ask them, I love Dobson and Horrell they are great and fantastic customer care. I explained my mare and what she did whats shes like ect via email with in 3 hours they called me back with more questions and advised me a feed.
At the end of the day theyll know better than anyone

D&H Suregrow is good for youngsters or you could go for baileys lo cal or stud balancer - trick is to get him growing slowly and steadily rather than letting him get fat.

I second D&H Suregrow! With sugar beet & alfa A along with ad lib haylage.

gypsey cobs are usually good doers, so firstly worm well and feed grass and ad lib hay/grass etc. dont force grow a baby on hard feed , not good for his joints. just aim to get him at correct weight with long stem fibre (alpha a and sugar beet) and maybe a balancer. and watch him grow. they grow and bulk up til nearly 6 years. no rush!!
