Thanks for your help, iv only taken him on this week, he,s been overfed all winter, he,s only having 4.5 kg of soaked hay a day with 4 to 5 hours grazing most days but am looking to fence a small area of & cut that down to1 to 2 hour. I havent had a horse for over 30 years and things have changed sooooo much ! !Yes you do, Fast Fibre won't give sufficient vits & mins. To be honest if he's fat at this time of year I'd cut out the Fast Fibre and Top Spec Zero and just feed the balancer.

Grass quite good & not many on it & he just pigs all day. He had lammi very bad last spring,was touch & go, he also has cushins. tried muzzle, . . . Straight of, , time after time ! !What's your grazing like? He may better having more time out than stood in a stable, at least out he's moving around which means he's using more calories and keeping his metabolism more active. If needs be could he wear a muzzle when out if the grass is too much for him? Stabled they just stand still doing nothing, that isn't good for them.
