Hi,
I'm after some advice about good feed to keep weight on. The situation is this:
I have 2 horses sharing a field- 1 is a welsh cob and a good doer (read tub of lard!) and the other a tb x type - 16.2 and not a bad doer just not as fatty as the cob. The cob is the boss so gets his fair share of hay and grass. At the moment I'm feeding mollichaff with a multivit & min. supplement as they both looking well on it and I'm planning to add sugarbeet to this as the weather worsens and the grass gets less.
Can anyone suggest what else I could feed the tb x just to make sure he keeps the weight on? I don't want to give much in the way of hard feed as they only get ridden gently at weekends. They both live out 24/7 until I save enough to build a stable
