ok I dont want to sound like a complete numpty here but I shall ask anyway 
I have a connie gelding who I have had for 7 months when I got him he was huge and not in work so he got no hard feed just grass and he lived out. But now he is in at night, has lost all his excess fat and is in work so he is fit, he is now at the point where he is loosing a bit of weight in front of his hips so I think (and some others I have asked) he just needs a little something to boost him up untill he moves on to the spring grazing. So what can I feed him that will give him some more buzz when ridden and just add a little bit of condition?
I am having trouble choosing from all the options out there and as he didnt have any before and I dont realy know how much of a good dooer he is I'm not sure what range of feed to give him (if that makes sense). I can get some pictures tomorrow if needed but his ribs are easily felt and so are his hips.
