Can anyone advise me on what to feed my three year old driving pony

he is a shetland pony around 33 inches
working at the moment 3 days a week for 30 mins at a time

walking more than anything but we do have a smidge of a burst of a trott but not for long maybe 1 min at a time maybe not even that :)

nothing else

any advice would be fab guys

so many feeds and suppliments dont know which way to turn feel like the exocist :eek: :)
 
A balanced diet high in fibre based on good quality forage would suit a Shetland best.
Therefore I recommend that you simply add a feed balancer (i.e. Topspec Balancer or Baileys Lo-Cal) which will supply your pony with all he needs for the ebst of health and perfromance.

My friend has driving shetlands and they are in hard work. They do driving trials. They get nothing except hay/grass and a lo cal balancer to meet their vitamin/mineral requirements.
 
Hay and a mineral lick! If they are working mega hard then a bit of Chaff and a handful and I mean and handfull of mix.
