Does anyone feed them both to an older horse, and is the improvment significant?
Im already on topspec but due to behavioural issues im looking to change feeds just to TRY another out.
Ive seen ads where 20 year old ponies are still jumping like stags and healthy and happy on these two combined.. anyone else seen this sort of reaction?
Another Q: if i was feeding these both, what other feeds would need to be included? (Ie, if i fed the pro, dynamic and speedibeet would be be suffient enough?)
Thankyou!

I fed Dynamic for a Couple of years, i didn't notice the difference it made until i stopped using it. My older horse definitely went a lot stiffer. I moved to Topspec but I'm also thinking of moving the older one's back to blue chip Dynamic. They also held there weight brilliantly when on the Blue chip dynamic.
I have never fed the 2 together Blue chip pro & dynamic, TBH i didn't realize you could. I thought you could only use one or the other?? In answer to your other question yes you should be fine with Blue chip & speedibeet i also fed Dengie Hifi with mine & they did great. So much so i might move back. Topspec has been great for my TB's feet though.

Dengie Hifi is a Fibre feed Its Alfalfa mixed with straw. I used it to bulk my feeds out & slow there eating, I always used it until i swapped to SS feeds. See link below to Dengies website. www.dengie.com/pages/products/fibre-feed/hi-fi-original.phpIve learned some thing new tonight, i never realized you could use Pro as well as Dynamic. Should go on there website more often. Haven't been on since i moved to Topspec. BTW i found Blue chip brilliant at sending out orders placed with them direct. Topspec have been a waste of time in that department.

I fed my 2 on HiFi Lite & Top Spec Anti lam this summer, but then I won a bag of Dymanic in a competition, they were doing OK on the Dynamic, but Zico especially went a bit bonkers on it (it doesnt take much for Zico!), i'm not sure whether or not to blame Dynamic, maybe it was just the time of year of something (although i'm sure that there was nothing on the bag that said non-heating). Anyway, he's been off the Dynamic & back on top spec for the last week or so, i'm not sure how he's been as havent taken him for a "test run" in the forest yet!.

Both Blue Chip and Blue Chip Dynamic have a lower vitamin and mineral specification than Top Spec. I tried feeding Blue Chip a couple of years ago to a very underweight horse that we had in on livery. It made very little difference. We finally got weight on her with a high calorie feed that has changed name several times since then and I think is now known as Ultimate Finish plus AlfaMax.
If Top Spec is a problem could you try something like Top Spec Comprehensive on an Alfa A Lite base and then add some conditioning feeds like Top Spec Cool and Condition or Top Spec Conditioning Flakes?
