Would soaked oats....

[maisie]

give my cob (who has lost 45kgs

over the winter and is in medium work) a bit more 'controllable' energy? He just feels like he needs an extra bit of 'ooomph' - currently fed hay and pure alfalfa with a linseed based supplement. Out all day on bare-ish grazing and in at night on ad-lib hay.

Is it possible to increase the grass available by moving to another paddock?

Yes soaked oats might work, don't soak too many as they can go off quickly in the heat - for this reason I only use them in winter. You might need to check that you linseed based supplement is providing all the vits and mins needed as a balancer, or add a broad multi vit - NAF Pink Powder is good and gives a little extra sparkle to some
