One scoop of happy hoof, once a day with a carrot. Also has a large haynet at night in her field shelter, lives out 24/7 with plenty of grass.
She's in lovely condition, very shiny and silky. However, I would say slightly on the tubby side!

Fells .... Live out All year round Hay if its particularly cold !
Have a headcollar on, taught to lead and if keeping for a broodmare just left alone
Depends what it looks like ... if its going to be shown then would handle a bit more and get used to standing in however dont tend to do very much with them at that age !!! Generally left to mature and start doing things as 3 4 or 5yo depending how many there are and how long they take to mature

If the wee fellas in for anything he will get a few carrots and a handful of chaff - nothing else. He is out 24/7 with as much hay as he can eat and doesn't wear a rug. Under all the mud he is a wee tubby. He is a piebald welsh cob x

Mine (a trad cob) gets a handful of Happy Hoof with a mug of Spillers Grow and Win, no more than that- he'll be 2 in the spring and has been on this feed since he was 6 months and it's really suited him. He also gets plenty of soaked meadow hay.
He's out in the day as much as possible- weather permitting as my turnout is limited in the winter as is clay-he's in at night- when i move in the nect few months though he'll be out 24/7 until next winter as better for them i think to be moving about when they are young.

I was just curious to know who feeds really. Mine is out 24/7 in a well sheltered 7 acre field with 2 friends, theres plenty of grass and when the snow comes they get ad-lib hay. I don't give him hard feed, he looks well and has a super thick coat!

Two darties :]
They were out 24/7 all summer, in during nights this winter and they get a haynet at night with a scoop of chaff and a couple of carrots each.
They're both well handled and lead well, good to catch, have their feet trimmed etc :]
ONLY problem is the current mud fever situation which means for the last few days they've been in most of the day whilst trying to treat it
