He is currently being kept in at night with more than enough hay and also half a bucket of dengie original chaff aswell as spillers conditioning nuts (3 cups). does any one have any not to expensive feeds that will help him build muscle without sending him crazy!
Draw reins(not the double reined kind, the ones which attach to the girth then the bit) - i have been advised to hack out in draw reins to keep his head at a constant level (not tied down) to keep him engaged uphills so im not constantly having to ask him to work. does anyone have a different aid which could help? also would lunging him in the draw reins help?
thanks sorry for the lengthy one!
