What do you feed your 2 year olds?

[welshied]

I have a 2 year old welsh d he use to be on youngstock mix but hes not allowed it now hes 2 so what do you think i should be feeding him now? Hes turned out during day and stabled at night

Why is he not allowed the mix anymore? TBH I would not really feed mixes until he started training. If he had to have something it would be pony cubes and chaff, but this would depend on how well he does on the grass and hay alone?

mine just have grass nuts from Simple Systems and good quality haylage.

The mix was youngstock mix and it says to only be fed until 24 months old

the baby P's at that age just got 24/7 turnout bit of hay and bit of happy hoof chaff (mainly because others were being fed so they needed something so they didn't distroy the place!)

mine get pony nuts chaff boss pink powder and plenty of grass, there is a girl up the road who has just bought a 3 year old and has put it on youngstock mix as (she is only 3!) and it has started itching like mad so I told her to take it off of it but she wont listen.

My almost 11 month colt is doing very well on Winergy Equilibrium Growth so I imagine I'll keep him on that until he is about 3.

My 2yo Sec D gets 500ml (half a measuring jug) of D&H Suregrow.

My 2yo TBx gets 1000ml of D&H Suregrow, a mug and a half of dry grass pellets (which are then soaked) and a handful of Alfa-A Oil.

Plus obviously grass and hay if required.

Grass, she is growing almost daily in my eyes, and is bubbling with energy.

We only ever fed our youngsters hay, only the pregnant mares and with foals at foot got stud mix, but the rest of them got hay if anything
