Please can I have people's thoughts about our new pony's feed.
She is currently (at her old home) having 1 feed a day of 1 scoop of chaff and 1 of Baily's conditioning cubes.
However, in her new home the horses are fed twice a day, and have ordinary pony nuts, rather than conditioning cubes.
The lady who's looking after her has suggested that we gradually start getting her on to the same routine as the others. She is a very nosy, switched on pony and will soon realize that the others are getting fed when she isn't, so I think that's a good idea. She also suggests gradually weaning her off the conditioning cubes on to ordinary nuts - she says she doesn't really need the posh expensive ones. I'm not so sure about this - she seems to be doing well on them, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to change. What do you knowledgable people think?
