Hi,
I am potentially moving to DIY from part livery and realised I don't really take much notice of what my mare is being fed. At the moment she's on two token feeds a day just so she doesn't kick off when the others are fed and so she can have her supplements. But now that she is potentially going to be out 24/7 I was thinking I might go down to just 1 feed a day. She's a connemara and keeps her weight well.
So my question is, what do you have them on and do you do 1 or 2 smaller feeds? I would say we do between light and moderate work, I ride 5-6 times a week with a mixture of hacking (hill work and some lateral work) for an hour and schooling usually for 45 mins. We then do clinics maybe once or twice a month.
Thanks! I didn't even realise all these different feeds existed until I just had a browse of my nearby tack shop.
