At the moment mine has 1/4 scoop spillers healthy hoofs plus vit/min supplement and grazing. She is a very good doer so try and keep her weight down as much as poss. Prob going to up it 1 scoop twice a day in winter plus a little mix (something like spillers herbal mix) with sugar beet when it gets really cold and obviously hay and she'll be living out. WHAT do you feed yours?? xx
 
Just chaff with a vit/min supplement. She is on the same in the winter, as is far to fat on hay and grass alone. She does dressage, hunter trials and 12 mile spoonsored rides on this too.
 
At the moment Twirlie is on 2 small cupfuls of Baileys Lo cal, however in the winter he gets Hi Fi Lite & High fibre cubes. He is a very good doer and does extremely well on hay and limited grazing!!
 
Grass & hay and 2 handfuls of Hi fi lite to put his supplement in once per day! He never has hard feed and does very well on this doing 15-20 mile pleasure rides every week!
 
Very very limited grazing, no hay, but 1 scoop Healthy Hooves,1 mug of Baileys lo-cal, half scoop quick-beet, supplements for joint and he gets that twice a day. At the moment he's lame

, but was very fit before and he still looks really good even tho he hasn't been worked for 3 months!
 
He gets a handful of happy hoof or hi-fi lite, and a handful of speedibeet. He only gets fed so he can get his supplements, I wouldn't bother otherwise.
 
an apple! He has it cut up in his feed bowl, otherwise he thinks I'm a mean mummy who doesn't give him dinner and it takes me 15 mins to drag him back to the field!!

In the winter he'll have hay whilst in at night, and a small feed of happy hoof morning and night.
 
Generally nothing, summer or winter, they live out with no hay, just grass.

But they have various supplements, Equus Health Winter GLow Summer Shine all year round as a 'natural' generaly health supplement, Think Fly to keep flies and midges away, and New Zealand Herbals Devils Claw Flex to keep my boy feeling sound and bouncy again! So a handful of Higi lite as a carrier for that lot.
 
2 cups of Lo Cal, along with half a scoop of chaff, garlic, Magic and joint supplement.

Not a clue about winter, because I spent last winter feeding her up because she was decidedly thin. I'll probably add some calories to what she's getting now, if and when she needs it.
 
1/2 scoop Hoof Kind, garlic, soya oil and 2 scoops Oilovite with plenty of carrots & apples thrown in. Just started on the B.O.S.S to see if they improve hoof quality. Dampened all down with evian...(ok only kidding, just good ol fashioned tap water!)

Everyone else is very lucky with their cobs mine gets a level round scoop of Alpha Oil and a cup of Topspec twice a day and sugarbeet will be introduced in the winter.
