What gives your comp horse sparkle without fizz?

[Peanot]

As said above really. What do you feed your horse for that added bit of sparkle for competition but without the fizz?
Thanks

Plain old competition mix or just add in some oats, perhaps an old fashioned way of doing it but seems to do the job!

The mare I had used to fizz up very easily (couldn't have any cool mix, nor pasture mix for example).

Obviously depends on the individual, but after trying different feeds I had her on Staypower Muesli when she was competing. She did very well on it and didn't fizz up at all.

Sorry Boss, I forgot to add that she has a cereal intolerance, and I have tried the competition mix by D&H, and she came out in little lumps. These were checked by the vet and she said that they were protein bumps, and to change back to the pasture mix. Her old owner told me that she was intolerant. When I first had her, anything would fizz her up, even the low energy mixes and we worked out that the only thing that was ok with her was pony nuts and hi-fi. Anything else, and she was a fidget and spooky bag of nerves.
Thanks

Oil is popular atm- supposed to be good source of slow release energy though many wont eat enough of it to make a real difference.

Thanks Polski, i will have a look at that now.

We've been using endurance mix for the show horses which seems to be working a treat so far!

We feed slow release mix and alfa oil. it gives a high shine coat and adds energy quietly if you understand my meaning. (oomph not spook)

Copra- fab stuff- quite difficult to get hold of tho. Really does the horses well but without fizz, beautiful shiny coats as well. Its made from part of the cocoanut and is very high in oil and fibre, very palatable and good for fussy feeders or old horses. My Mum has had her 27 year old TB on it for a year and he is a different horse (even off his bute!) We have a seriously sharp competition pony on it who used to drop weight or blow up with too much food and he is thriving on it/

I used to feed spillers slow response found that worked well, energy with no side effects

Alfalfa gives slow release energy. As does oil. I also feel sugar beet gives them a bit of a kick, I give mine some really wet stuff at shows in between classes which seems to revitalise them and wake them up again (even if its just to hydrate them)

I treid that Staypower muselie last year and seemed to work well - so will prob use it again this year!! I cant feed much to Star without it sending her loopy and at the mo all she is on is a scoop of horse and pony nuts and still fat as a house lol!! Was thinking yesterday i need i change her feeds but what to? who knows lol...

Propell Plus, gives them the extra sparkle without the fizz!

Soya oil works fab for my boy, slow releasing enegry means he doesn't fizz up but gives him some extra energy and he looks fantastic on it.
