Feeding ex racehorses. I have a 10 yr old 17.1 and 20 yr old 16.3hh. They both need to gain weight. I currently feed a scoop of Alpha A oil, scoop of sugar beet, scoop of cool mix twice a day. Also turn out for 6 hours daily and two large nets of haylege each at night. I am trying boiled barley as a cheaper alternative to the cool mix but I think it is making them too excitable. Any suggestions how I can get weight on without spending a fortune?
