First, speak to your vet about a good worming programme and have her teeth checked. Then you need to feed her a conditioning feed such as Badminton Show & Conditioning Mix or Badminton Conditioning Cubes. The addition of Speedi-Beet or sugar beet pellets will also help to add condition. Feeds should be split between at least two feeds per day. Feed ad lib good quality hay in the winter months and provide access to good quality pasture in the summer.
What can I feed to my horse to put weight on, without fizzing him up?
You could feed either Triple
Top-Up or Cooked
Cereal Conditioning Meal. Both products are high in calories and oat
free. Their concentrated calories can be fed in low quantities, which
are ideal for fussy eaters too.
My Arab mare is
difficult to keep weight on, but even cool cubes send her crazy. What
can I feed her that will not make her worse?
She needs a grain-free diet. Evenkeel
or High
Fibre Complete Nuggets are low in starch and low in energy. Add Triple
Top-Up if she needs extra condition.
