What to feed good doers
The phrase 'good doer' refers to any horse or pony able to maintain their weight on minimal feeding, irrespective of their workload, breed or age.
Quite often, the only supplementary feeding they require alongside their grazing or forage is a high quality forage balancer, bulked out with a low calorie chop or pellet and access to plain salt and water.
To avoid 'good doers' becoming overweight, it is important to chose higher fibre, lower calorie feeds for day-to-day use helping them feel full and satisfied without adding to their waist line.
'Good doers' that are in work can be target fed directly before work with forages higher in digestible energy to aid stamina but without promoting weight gain.
