I have a sec A, or rather, I have two. The younger (rising 2) boy I bought over a year ago, went into last summer looking a bit weedy but fine, then I smashed my leg up and rather than being able to get him in off the grass at least during the day, he was left out as Dad had enough to do with my (then broken as well) competition horse to deal with and Herbie wasn?t looking fat. He?s come in this winter like a bull and so I clipped a neck & belly off him and left him naked. He hasn?t lost anything so I extended the clip to a low trace and left him naked... nothing. Still looks like a bull- gelded at 9 months. He weighed in at 280kg in October, I don?t think he?s much different now. He wasn?t fed hard feed until the grass went off, so started about three weeks ago on 250g top spec stud lite balancer, a handful of Alfa A Oil and some veg peelings. He has a 4 or 5 kilo net overnight (4pm-7am) and goes out all day. I do have another youngster so he had a play buddy so isn?t just stood eating while he?s out, and he isn?t ?doing? anything at the moment other than coming in and going out. His big brother is rising three, gelded 5 months ago and lived out with the colts at the stud last year so came in lean. Came to us in August so hasn?t done a summer on the grass, looks fine. Same feed, except on Top Spec Stud balancer rather than the lite. He?s just started walking out with me to see the world so is doing a little more out & about than Herbie. We are on livery at at ex dairy farm, the grass is rocket fuel and moving isn?t really an option due to other factors, however much is like to keep them on my own place! Is there anything obvious that I?m missing with him? Other than soaking hay? He?s not really cresty, just fat across the barrel!
