My beautiful 21 year old mare has been erm....'rounded' since I've known her. But she is going through a particularly porky phase and I would like her to lose a bit of weight.
She is currently fed a small amount of hard feed - a mixture of Slim & Healthy (which she isn't keen on - she eats it last!) and Spillers Herbal Mix (which she loves). I have been cutting her feed down over the past number of months, but don't want to reduce it further because I would worry she wouldn't get enough of the right vitamins and minerals.
So, I'm thinking of changing her feed. What I want is something which will keep her slim, but will give her all the nutrients she needs and will give her enough energy for the sort of light work I want to do with her. I've heard Happy Hoof is good for tubby neds. Can it be used as a complete feed? Anyone use it for their good do-ers?
