You're probably going to read this and think I'm insane and I have too much time on my hands. Truth is I am insane, and I don't have this much time but I'm trying things out. At the bottom I've listed out general descriptions of the things I'm feeding at the bottom. Basically all her meals end up soaked for now because of the beet pulp.

haha only you!
ReplyDelete:D I'm out of control.
DeleteWowza lady - I feel like I'm neglecting my girla by abandoning their diet to yard muesli 3x a day. 3/4 scoop morning & evening + 1/2 a scoop after riding with measured spoon of vitamins - although if they're in the turn out for the afternoon they get their evening meal + 1/2 portion of muesli & vitamins after work.
ReplyDeleteThey also get half a bucket of carrots split between them & 3-4apples in their hay.
Am I a bad mammy for not taking more on an interest in their diet?! It's just such a minefield feeding, that I'm afraid I tend to bury my head in the sand and figure if it ain't broke - don't fix it *blush*
You're not a bad horse mum! Your girls are in great condition :) Obviously what you're doing works for them. Echo just seems to keep my life difficult. Dakota's grain feeding is super easy now compared to her. He just gets bagged feed and I add his two supplements and he's good to go.
DeleteMares so that to us, although knock-on-wood mine are good to grub up. Long may it last is all I say!
DeleteKeeping everything crossed that this diet works well for Miss Echo and that you can get your Dressage Diva on in no time
