What do you feed?

Pony nuts and sunflower seeds - half a scoop of nuts and a cup of seeds after work. He also gets electrolytes - half a scoop a day for 2 days before an event, 1 scoop on day of event, half a scoop the day after the event.

By rights he isn't getting 'enough' of anything according to the manufacturers recommendations for both pony nuts and electrolytes, but it seems to do him fine!

Only change this if he is lacking energy when I'll add in tiger oats, or if he drops condition in the winter when he'd get beet. Other than that he seems quite well on very cheap food, which is good as I am finding Novice eventing is blooming expensive! (not that PN was particularly cheap...)

Cob - good doer, apples/carrots - in the winter he will get SB and prob barley, will play it by ear - maybe even soaked oats. Actually, that's a good idea - thanx for making me think of that
