[Valaraki]

Here goes:

Basicly they all get Happy Hoof (I do have 5 horses altogether) but 2 of them get Top Spec Anti-Lam (one is a lamanitic and the other is a good doer who looks at grass and puts weight on), Speedibeet, High Fiber Nuts and Sixteen Plus Nuts for the oldies:D

They all get different supplements for joints, respiratory or general wellbeing and one is alos on a calmer!

Try and give them what they need.

[vimto92]

[wondergirl]

In summer I feed nothing.

In winter I feed:
D&H pasture mix
Speedbeet
Alpha-a lite
Suppliments

[xloopylozzax]

ours all get molli-chop, sugar beet and a basic mix (not sure what brand at the moment, basically its the cheapest the shop has) if they are in heavy work they get a couple of handfulls of oats to give them some extra energy.

in winter they also get carrots (take trailer down to 'the carrot place' we dont buy carrots from the feed place for them because they are a bit naff sometimes and more expensive. a couple of shovel fulls in the morning with morning haynet and same again for tea with the night net.

ad-lib hay (or haylage depending on quality of hay)

[*Sez*]

I feed Allen & Page :) I like that it's vegetarian society approved and Sal does really well on their products.

At the moment, I'm feeding Calm & Condition (but at the end of this sack we're going onto Ride & Relax for the rest of the summer) and Alfa A oil with some NAF pink powder.
In winter, I feed Calm & Condition, Alfa A Oil, pink powder and Speedibeet.

[posie]

at the mo: cheapest chaff and cheapest nuts from our local feed shop just so i can give cod liver oil and garlic...

winter - new horse but plan on... sugarbeet, meadow mix, chaff, possibly rolled barley if needing a bit more energy for hunting, cod liver oil. i'm not too bothered by brands - will prob just go for feed shop own brand to be honest!

she also has horselix, salt lick and garlic lick in field to stop her getting bored! (spoilt brat)

[conkers]

My two both get Happy Hoof - I use it as a chop.

Connie gets Spillers High Fibre Cubes and Mandy has Top Spec Cool Conditioning cubes.

They both get Cortaflex and Clop.

[emmathechief]

Wow Tre! I Likie the sound of honey and carrot chaff! Who makes that?

My hossy gets...

handful of chaff
Garlic
half scoop of Spillars instant energy
(carrots and apples if she's in!)

[Tre]

i cant remember but i will find out tomorrow and let you know :)

smells gorgeous though and all the horses love it

ETA its £4.70 for a huge bag and lasts us afew weeks and we have 14 horses and 12 of them have a scoop everyday

[Nookster]

During summer nothing but formula 4 feet and some garlic granules

Winter – formula 4 feet, garlic, speedi beet, redi grass and hi fibre cubes depending.

[capalldubh]

In Summer, a scoop of Safe and Sound, with magnesium and Hoofmender, plus a large spoonful of Marmite (Marmite is high in B Vitamins, which make people and horses who eat it less attractive to biting flies - pity I hate the stuff myself - Jackson is bitefree but the midgies follow me :rolleyes:).

In Winter, same without the Marmite but with some Quikbeet.

He also gets a small scoop of Fibrenuts.

Whatever veg are left over from dinner - broccoli stalks, carrots, pumpkin, etc. and if no veg, then an apple or an orange.

It sounds yummy!!. Thanks, that would be great to know who makes it. I'm always looking for something a bit more interesting for her for the winter!

thats who makes it, hope ya manage to find a stockist near you :)

[Laura+Phantom]

Grass and hay..and a himalyan rock salt lick to share.

[puzzles]

Splash was just on grass for the summer, til now. He has a scoop of leisure mix with a little chaff to mix in some joint powder ... too much if you ask me, he's tubby already, but there you go.

[laceyfreckle]

Lacey has hi-fi original to mix with her garlic, magnesium, equivite vit & mins, equiflex, and apple cider vinegar for the summer in winter she will have probably fast fibre or alphabeet and Hi Fi with above supplements if required.

Piccolo has Hi-Fi original to mix with equivite vit & mins and garlic. In winter she will go on to either a youngstock feed or a youngstock balancer.

They also have a block of salt to share:)

[~Perdita.M~]

Mine both have the same all year round. sprinkle of hi fi lite, half portion of top spec anti lam, mag ox, salt. Then Shamrock has cortaflex and nobute with his too:) If, *gasp - shock - horror* they should ever consider losing weight over winter, then speedibeet would be added!:D

[xxxkristinaxxx]

Well I wasn't happy with Ronnies general condition so I put her on topline and conditioning mix just to see if it worked and it does! She was having the recommended amount for her but now shes up to weight and looks perfect.
She is getting around 1/2 a scoop of Topline & conditioning mix
1 scoop of alfa A original
Garlic granules & barefoot biotin.

She was getting glucosamine sulphate but she doesn't need it anymore, and she gets this herbal anti inflammatory when we have done a lot of hard work.

Sounds like quite a lot for summer but she is looking good and isn't overweight. I will be reducing her feed soon when I have finished this bag of feed lol

[acw295]

Bit of Hi-Fi Lite, lo-cal balancer, garlic and carrot/apple

In winter more of the same (minus garlic) plus a bit of fibre-beet :)

[campbh]

Fibre Gold Working Fibre mix - goes down a treat and no need to add anything - that's saved me 15 mins each feed time 'concocting'!

[SO1]

2 handfuls of Dengie good doer and a tiny handful of baileys meadow mix as a treat after he has been ridden plus his supplement.

[CurlyWurlyRach]

Curly is getting :-

- Baileys Lo Cal (the correct amount for her size - works out at 2/3 of a round scoop)

- Alpha A (round scoop)

- Blue Chip Karma

Shes a wee bit skinny and ribby atm but im reluctant to up her feed in the middle of summer.

In winter i will probably add fibrebeet/speedibeet and another scoop of the chaff. She can't have anything that is cereal based so gets a huge amount of fibre to see her through.

[Laura+Phantom]

It makes me wonder if there's something seriously wrong with my 4 ponies as they are on a bare strip of grass (less than 1/8 acre) with a bale of last year's hay between them a day..and they are still tubby! Yet other people need to feed theirs...I think i've made them too hard over the years, they thrive on nothing! I call them 'economic' :D
