Extremely Old Nag!
I'm used to feeding mares and foals, youngsters and working horses but they've mostly been TBs so coblet is a whole new ball game for me.
Her 'breeding' is by a heavy cob out of a cob x TB. She's only just a yearling and expected to make about 15 hands.
ATM, she gets less than a handful of pony nuts at night to come in to and hay with decentish grazing by day (don't ask; my old lady livery has to come in at night to rest and Goody won't settle if she's in and he's out so they all come in at night to save any hassle)
It's not so much now but in winter that I'm thinking she'll need a better diet to help her growing frame. The question is what. Do I go down the lo-cal balancer with a spot of chaff route or something else?
The floor's open for your advice please. TIA.
