Today I gave my horses their first feed at OTP!
I've never known a horse love his feed as much as Finn (Ramoir Definition) so I fed him first. This is what he got:
~half a scoop of beetpulp (pre-prepared)-to keep weight on as he loses it easily
~a scoop of his usual herbal mix-to make it taste nice (and familiar) and give it some substance.
~a scoop of competition mix-to keep him on top form!
~a scoop of chaff-to bulk out his feed and make sure he didn't bolt it.
~a scoop of dried grass-as the grazing isn't great at the moment.
~half a scoop of pony cubes-to give him enough energy to handle his work load.
~a handfull of oats-to give him some spark...but not too much!
~his recommended dose of Blue Chip supplement-to keep his muscles, coat and hooves healthy and balance his feed.
~a tablespoon of linseed to keep his coat healthy.

Next I fed Magic (Dalzell Magical Adventure). This is what she got:
~a scoop of (pre prepared) beetpulp-as she needs to gain a little weight
~a scoop of her usual herbal mix-again to make it taste nice (and familiar)and give it some substance.
~a scoop of competition mix-to keep her on top form (like Finn!)
~a scoop of chaff-to bulk out her feed and make sure she didn't bolt it.
~a scoop of dried grass-as the grazing isn't great at the moment
~a scoop of pony cubes-to give her a bit more energy as she was a little lazier than she ususally is when i rode her.
~a handfull of oats to give her a little bit of spark...but not too much!
~her recommended dose of Blue Chip supplement -to keep her muscles, coat and hooves healthy and balance her feed.
~2 tablespoons of linseed to keep her coat healthy as she hasn't quite finished casting it yet.

They also got a nice, well soaked haynet (Finn got 10 lbs and magic got 8 lbs) and I made sure they both had fresh water.

When they had finished eating,I washed their buckets and put them away before rugging them up and giving them both an apple.

(This will be my daily routine,but i may alter it every so often if need be).
