What do you feed your horses through the winter in England ?

    We feed our horses the same the entire year through. During the winter, though, they're only out for several hours at our current yard, so they don't get much grass. Two are living out over the summer (one's retired and the other is my new horse). The other two are stabled (one's retired and one is my sister's eventing horse).

    Our retired pony gets a large scoop of Cushcare feed because of his Cushings disease (he also gets Prascend tablets) as well as some chopped/dried spearmint, Super Codlivine and Equine America's Glucosamine Plus. He gets a large hay/haylage net at night and a small one of just haylage in the morning.

    Our Thoroughbred gets two scoops of the TopSpec Ulsakind pellets (because of her history with stomach ulcers) and the same supplements as the retired pony. She gets one huge net of haylage at night and another big one in the morning. During the winter when she can't get outside as much as we want, we also give her some pre-cut, bagged grass.
