Ok, I know you are all thinking, is she mad? It does sound a bit like it to be fair!
My 5 year old warmblood x welsh cob is a fairly laid back individual who gets fat on thin air but she can be very spooky. I wouldn't mind if she wasn't very short and lacking in front which means an average spook has one hanging out the side door! She works well but does seem to run out of energy quicker than I would like. I appreciate that this will continue to improve with her maturing and also fitness but I don't want to feel I am pushing her if she is not getting enough food to do the job. I have found that food is inclined to make her a bit frivolous!
She currently lives in a fairly bare paddock at night and is in with unsoaked hay during the day. Weight ok at present.
We have tried:
Topspec AntiLam Balancer
Topchop lite (won't eat it)
Bit of energy but still lacking - not silly on this
Simple Systems Lucie Fibre Nuts
Simple Systems Metaslim
Dead as a Dodo - definitely not silly on this
Both companies suggested feeding higher protein food 20 mins before working - made not a jot of difference.
Now on
Equimins Balancer
Fast Fibre
3 Grass nuts (they make her feel loved)
Copra Coolstance (half a mug full)
Lots of energy - a bit silly on this.
Any other ideas please?
