not sure what to feed my 16.1 9yo warmblood. lately she seems a bit lifeless and a wee bit lazier than usual.. Atm in winter i ride her 4 times a week schooling once or twice, jumping and the rest hacking. she lives out with hay available at night (not ad-lib) and the farm feed her half scoop of spillers cool cubes and full scoop of alfa a every morning. each time i ride her i give her a generous full scoop of alfa a and a mug of linseed. i know this isnt the right stuff or quantity but i am stuck on what to feed her.

I thought maybe a good balancer, calm and condition and alfa a chaf? So she has essential vits etc with balancer, bulk of chaf and weight maintainer with beet. i dont want extra fizz however she does need more energy as she feels and looks shattered!!

Please help. What feed would you recommend for my horse?
 
I'd go with upping the hay and giving her a second feed in the evening.

Does she get brought in to be fed in the morning?

I agree with this, I imagine she's quiet because she's not getting anything like enough food. If living out she should be on ad lib hay or haylage and will need some kind of heating feed, not chaff.
