I have a filly who was weaned too early by the previous owner. As a result i have been feeding foal creep. My question is what have people found to be the best feed to move onto? I have been told different things by different people and would like to learn what feed gets the best results? I am looking at the filly becoming an inhand show pony. Any advice greatfully appreciated!
 
Make sure she gets plenty of herd interaction, horses which are raised in a pet type environment are easily spoiled or have other problems which are difficult to overcome.
I would put this before trying to feed for showing, they all go though growth spurts and may look unfurnished;ugly ducklings, just make sure she has plenty of hay suited to her age [youngsters may do better on a softer type meadow hay] don't be tempted to overfeed bagged feeds. Don't use a haynet, but expect her to trash some of it.
