At the moment Chester gets a handful or two of Dengie Happy Hood mixed with half a handful of Hi Fi Light, a few handfuls of Dodson and Horrell conditioning cubes with apples and carrots. Supplement-wise he gets garlic, linseed oil, Naf 5 star super flex for his joints and magnesium.
He's currently out at night on average grazing for up to fifteen hours, during the day he is stabled and has ad-lib hay, access to a mineral lick (which he uses more as a scratching post) and a snack-a-ball with with D&H conditioning cubes.

1 ID/TB cross, 1 American standard bred both doing light hacking, stabled at night from end october to end march with poor grazing and ad lib haylage. Summertime grazing is better but they still have a couple of slices a day of hay each. Winter feed is half scoop speedy beet, 1 scoop chop (happy hoof, alfa a, Hi Fi mix) cup of conditioning cubes twice a day. Summer feed is as above without the speedy beet and only once a day. They have salt licks and occasional apples and carrots. They are perfectly behaved, a good weight with lovely coats and just the right amount of energy.

Light work over winter, starting to go out for longer now building up to 10+ miles fun rides in the spring/summer) Good handful (both hands) of Dengie molasses free hi fi, and a small sieve or two of unmollassed sugar beet. If he is doing alot of work 1/2 scoop of Baileys No.1. And Benevit advance Toffee (35 yrs old 13.2hh welsh c x. Retired apart from the occasional hoon out to keep her happy and ticking over! Lost alot of condition last winter/spring, took a long time to find something to help get it back on which baileys no.1 has) hifi same as apollo small scoop and a half of baileys no.1, varies on how her weight is going. good small scoop or sugar beet and a bit more if too much has been soaked. Buteless, benevit, and as of this week alfa pellets that some one is giving me. Bob and Tiny (11.3hh. Bob- Welsh section a 4 yrs old, Tiny - exmoor 18 yrs old.

Talin (15hh arab, gentle hacking 4 times a week) and Henry (14.2 sect D not currently working) live out together on 3 acres (split into summer and winter fields), there's never a lot of grass and they get 2% of their bodyweight in hay a day in winter, will reduce (possibly stop depending on condition) in summer. Talin has 200g speedibeet, 150g TS CoolCondition cubes, 60g linseed, MagOx and Yea Sacc. In summer just has his supps in a light unmollassed chaff. Henry has 2 handfuls of hi fibre nuts and 2 handfuls of graze on plus MagOx to stop him feeling left out

My little girl Indie, is a lightweight cob x, currently standing at 14.1hh and is set to make 15.2hh. She is 2 & 1/2 yrs old at this time. Over the summer, she had summer grazing and no extra supplementary feed. We've been doing very light work since October (perfect manners exercises in the school and the occasional leading work of going for a 20 min walk). She has been stabled over night since late November.
Simple Systems Top Nosh (100g per 100kg bodyweight) Simple Systems Lucie Nuts - soaked so they turn to a pulp (100g per 100kg bodyweight). I split the overall quantity in to 2 feeds with a few chopped carrot sticks for a treat. This is fantastic for her as it has the higher protein content to support her growth and the vitamins and minerals for condition (coat, mane, tail, hooves, etc).

Indie when he gets back from Jim's this weekend will be getting Simple Systems Lucie Nuts about half the recommended amount which I will monitor and if I need to increase will do so, and Total Eclipse. He gets hay and grass too!

Jinksy - 7 1/2 year old, 16hh, TB x ID, gelding Ridden about 4 times a week just light schooling and hacking and is out in the field every day for about 9 hours. He has 2 medium sized haynets at night (one of them is doubled up) and i have just started to soak them as they're quite dusty. At the moment we are doing a trial for Winergy so he is fed 1 1/2 scoops of winergy Low energy for both Am+Pm feeds. Oh and an apple or pear if he's been really good Before then and after the trial, he will be back on 1 1/2 scoops Hi-fi no molasses, and a scoop of vits and mins (i think i have Naf magic for him to go on hmmm...) for both Am+Pm feeds. If he's getting pit podgy then i'll just cut down on his hi-fi and will eventually be turned out 24/7
