They currently get Hifi good do-er and basic nuts, but feel as they are still young and one has gone bum high again, they need more? the are out 10 hours a day and get hay overnight, bedded on shavings as I have dust allergies and struggle with straw.
 
My 4YO gets same as yours with a bit of Barley & BeetPulp - Oats or anything energy inducing is not allowed as she gets a bit loopy!

Keep it simple - high fibre all the way. Grass, hay, some hi-fibre nuts - sounds like you've got it right.

Only add extra if they look underweight. Its easy to over-feed youngsters and cause more problems - killing with kindness and all that!

If you need more help, email/call some feed companies; they are always happy to help :)
 
Oh sorry! I didn't think it was a genuine question... There's been some rather 'funny' posters recently... It seemed too simple to be a real question and I thought it was a joke. Must sharpen my trolldar... Obviously not working properly... Apologies.
