who is still feeding?

[vickers22]

I am still feeding zak and it seems to be quite a lot-he could still do with a liitle more weight on. But today the YO said that he would probs be fine on the grass. But i dont want to stop feeding and him to lose weight....what are you all doing?

 

[spaniel]

erm....mine get fed all year round. I might alter the diet a little but I certainly dont stop feeding them.

 

[_jetset_]

Mine get fed all year around too...

 

[lizzie_liz]

Mine is fed all year round, she needs then food for energy!

 

[asbo]

me,i feed all year

 

[skye123]

skye hasnt been fed for quite a few weeks now as she is holding her weight (a little too well

) on hayledge and grass

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

My mare has to be fed all year round also to give her the supplements she needs, if she did not need them i would not bother, so 365 days a year it is!

 

[sunny123]

mine are fed all year round aswell!

 

[cariadssogreat]

Babes are still being fed but the older ones
( 6, 8,9 &18 year olds) are not now.

Amber will be fed all year as she has supplements. She'll have a bit less feed in the summer though.

Gypsy, Septre and Jethro will not be fed during the summer as they are all tubby and dont want any lami probs. They are having their feed reduced abit now.

 

[brightmount]

Mine have supplements too. In the summer when they live out, you'll find me down the field hand-feeding from a plastic bag so they get their supplements. My arthritic mare needs them particularly when the ground gets hard. I only feed enough to make the supplements palatable though as our grass is very abundant.

Mine are now out 24/7 and last week I was bringing them in to feed them and they actually left their buckets! So at present, lots of grass and no food. If I notice a change in weight, I'll pick the feed up, but dont consider that will happen.

 

[Jemayni]

Well the fizzy chubby one never gets fed. The normal one has had his rations restricted as of yday as he is putting on weight at a rate of knots!

 

[sevenoceans]

I feed mine all year round, He's going out 24/7 and will still get 1 meal a day (at least) he's TB and prone to weight loss.

 

[WelshRareBit]

I would be stopping feeding Murph as much come end of April. He would then just get a minimal feed, obviously more when he had worked.

If he doesn't want it then perhaps he doesn't really need it?
I'll still feeding SWUO, although that's really only because she has her balancer...and it's only soaked fibre nuts at that, with a few chopped veggies in(which she loves)
She's sulking as I've stopped giving her haylage though

[vickers22]

well he is still getting Allen page calm condition, alfa A oil, sunflower seeds and topspec leisuretime, garlic and apple cider vinegar(gosh that sounds like LOADS!) So i was thinking of dropping the C&C?

 

[dozzie]

Im still feeding my big mare and oldies. Ponies are on poor grazing but still getting hay.

 

[juliebrewer]

Get fed alyear round unless not in work and the grass is good.

 

[helenandshadow]

Mine get fed all year round too but they don't get as much in the summer. At the moment they are only on hi-fi, economy mix and supplements.

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Maybe just feed smaller quantities and see how he does on that

Either that or go for straight alfa a instead of the oil.

[MagicMelon]

Mine get fed all year round, if they're in work or not. I just alter it depending on what they're doing.

 

[Tia]

The babies are fed almost all year round here, however the grown horses will cease being fed around May time.

 

[moon_drop]

i feed my four all year round aswell they also get hay all year round as well.

 

[_daisy_]

unfortunately im still feeding mine. As soon as they go out onto their summer grass then ill readdress it but as they have no grass at all in their paddock and are living on haylage, i need to feed them.
The other 2 have plenty of grass but need to have their supplements so get fed to have them.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Feed ours all year round

 

[rcm_73]

Stopped feeding my two now as they are out on loads of grass so are not interested in their bucket feed at all!! Did want to continue getting the calmer down the mare but she is really not interested!

 

[the watcher]

I feed something all the year round to get their vits and mins in, the big one is still getting full winter meals as he is a bit of a whippet at the moment and the grass isn't that good

 

[Capriole]

weve no grass (land overgrazed but YO takes on mire horses), so im still feeding, one is lame and is cut back to his allowance of blue chip and some alfa-a, other is being built up and is on a full feed
