I see that you are from the UK, so I don't know what comparable feeds would be...but I'll atleast tell you what my hard-keeper is on! He is a 13 y/o TB geling..hard keeper and I am finally just getting him at a good weight (I have only owned him since January '03) Now that winter is approaching I obvioulsy need to make sure he is maintaining and even better, still gaining a bit! He is fed twice daily and he gets: He gets free choice (round bale) hay all day and three flakes for when he comes in at night. I have found he is gaining nicely and his energy isn't too high! Hope I helped somewhat! IP: Logged |
