Carn is fed

Mollichaff hoofkind
Pro-bio
Garlic
Lami x aid
Carrots

Carn is only given tea to give him his supplements as he got lami for the 1st time last summer..
I give him chaff as its the most basic feed i can give him without the worry of him gaining weight...also its healthy on my pocket
 
My cousin owns stables, I get left to feed the horses though, the cobs all get brought in at night and kept out in the day, they get fed...

MORNING- Dodson and Horrell Pasture mix(scoop) with of Hi-fi orignal(handful)
EVENING- Same but with some Cod Liver Oil, and happy hoof for some!

Her newly broken VV green TB gets...

MORNING- Dodson and Horrell Build up mix(scoop) with hi-fi orignal(handful)
EVENING- Same with Cod Liver Oil, and some other wired conditioning thing.
(He also gets a handul of applechaff mixed in because he is sooo fussy!!!):rolleyes:

Her Oldies get...

MORNING- Dodson and Horrell 16+(scoop) mixed with Hi-fi original(handful)
EVENING- Same with Cod Liver oil, Equine Joint and Happy Hoof.
(We give them some chopped carrots in theirs too!)

As you can tell, she is a very simple person and swears by Dodson ans Horrell, Hi-fi and Cod Liver Oil!
And I have to feed all 14 of them every morning and night! OH and they all get a full Haynet morning and night. :rolleyes::D
 
I feed Zeb

Fast fibre - because it has enough vits and mins in it even when only fed in a small amount. It makes his coat gleam and his barefeet good.....It's fibre only and is cheap:)

thats all he has (one scoop dry soaked with two scoops water)

I feed Piccolo the above but 1/2 a scoop and NAF youngstock supplement just to add the right amount of vits and mins as the fast fibre isn't a youngstock feed.:)
 
ad lib hay and 24/7 grass turnout...thats it...

I dont like feeding youngsters if their weight/condition is good.

Theres no point in feeding my 5yo as hes not in much work, and hes got enough weight :D
 
My 2 get, for tea ;

Fast Fibre
Hi Fi Lite
Plus:

1 gets Global Herbs Globalvite

The other gets, NAF Slimline, Laminaze and Global Herbs Old Age Supplement
 
Morning, half scoop Fast Fibre with Just Grass and a handful of linseed lozenges for shine.

Evening, 250g TopSpec Balancer with Just Grass, a handful of linseed lozenges and a spoonful of Mag Ox for calmness.
 
Robbie gets;
Dodson & Horrel high fibre nuts - basically so he is 'high on fibe'
SugarBeet - to have more 'oomphy food' behind him & keep weight on
Honeychop
Bran

Honey;
Hi-fi Lite - doesn't have mollasses in it
Equibarley - low in sugar content
Bran - keep weight on

Bran will not keep weight on infact the oppsite effect as it rushes the food through the digestive system ....... I would not recommend it as a feed sorce... Plus it has Calcium issues and if you are to keep feeding it to honey think about a calcium supplement for her.

Dennis has
scoop of happy hoof
1/4 scoop of D&H leisure mix

hes just come back into work looks well doesn't need much in the way of energy etc.... I like feeding happy hoof as its not high in sugar
Mix because it was all that was in at the time would rather feed a cube which is what he'll be changed onto after bag is finished. He'll prob go onto a build up cube or the like as he'll be in harder work etc...

Scooby has
scoop of happy hoof

good doer doesnt need much just something to mix in supplements

Doone has
3/4 feeds a day small consisting of

Winergy condition and baileys no 4

Hes a poorish doer thats not keen on food :rolleyes: but he does love the no 4 which is why he has that. he's a bit more keen on his hard food now :)

Supplements wise ....... all get cortaflex HA solution and Dennis has coffless
 
spillers conditioning fibre as it keeps weight on him and makes his coat beautiful and shiny without adding tonnes of fizz,
fast fibre to bulk it out,
scoop of blue chip for anything that may be missing,
seaweed and biotin for his crappy feet.
 
Baileys lo cal for vits and mins.

Hi fi lite for bulk

Seaweed because I always have and everyone comments on Joy's nice coat.


My 2 don't need a bucket feed for additional calories, it's just the vits and mins they need :)

Porsha is nearly 3, tbxdales, 15.1hh

and she has a handful of Hi FI lite with a scoop of garlic for tea.

Adlib Haylage while stabled at night and a few carrots.

She is a good weight now as a 3 yo, so I hope she will be a good doer throughout her life, Iam not a fan of big feeds, So it has worked out nicely that Porsha doesnt need loads.

She doesnt really need the handful of Hi Fi but it is always good to keep a routine of feed in a bucket incase you need to add medicines if they get poorly.

And she likes it:p
 
Forest has:
Cherry chaff (as its the only chaff he will eat more then once!:rolleyes:)
Speedi beet
Calm and condition

And its spilt into 2 feeds with his supplements in. :)
