My 20 yr old cob gets 2 feeds, 240g topspec senior balancer, 1 scoop topspec topchop lite, 1/2 scoop topspec fibre plus cubes and 1/2 scoop topspec topchop grass. Topspec feed has made a huge difference to him, he is a lot better temperament wise and has kept his condition better

Plus an obscene amount of hay...

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Ad-lib hay in the field and grass. When the weather gets really rotten then a couple of scoops of Healthy Hooves.


Can you tell they are both good doers?

[maisie06]

Just changed the boys to Alfa A oil and conditioning cubes for the winter! The fat mare is just having hay!

 

[Ellen Durow]

So just a nosey post! As title!

Hi-fi, Speedibeet, Pegasus Cubes, carrots or apples, Global Herbs Mud X, Codlivine and Lincoln 100% garlic powder + hay and Readigrass all worked out according to the usual weight/work ratio and divided into 3 meals "served" early morning, mid afternoon and late evening. (I'm old-fashioned having learned my "trade" in the late1950s/early '60s. I believe firmly in "evening stables" so he's set fair and fed at 9pm every night).

He can't have anything with barley in it as the slightest sniff sends him completely bonkers and he's dangerous, so close inspection of every bag of hard feed in case they've changed the formula is essential!

In summer, when his waistline is suffering from good grass, he has one feed a day of Lo-Cal and Hi-fi just to keep up with his supplements - without the garlic he's plagued by flies and he has the Mud-x at maintenance level.

His favourite treat is a swede. Polos are used as a reward for good behaviour or good work (and occasionally as a reward for being beautiful but don't tell anyone).

 

[pip_dog]

And haylage too!

 

[colour me in]

My cushingoid mare gets scoop dry chaff, 3/4 scoop spillers high fibre nuts, 1/2 scoop speedibeet, linseed oil, garlic and a broad spec min and bit supplement plus very dry haylage and is looking fantastic of it

 

[Montyforever]

Welsh a (needs to put on a tiny bit more weight still!) gets 3 (when dry) small rectangular scoops of fast fibre obviously works out as more when wet with global herbs laminitis prone and a multi vitamin supplement. That's split into 2 feeds.

And welsh d who is a really good doer gets a scoop of apple chaff!

 

[tallyho!]

Speedibeet
Alfabeet
