| Mine is getting several lbs - depends on flake size - Of mostly alfalfa with a little grass hay. She is also getting a couple lbs of Purina Equine Sr Active. It was similar to the Ultium Growth formula and my older horses get it. Very easy to just feed one thing! My 2yo is the palomino. The other is my 16 yo gelding. I think I want my 2yo to stop growing! lol

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Mine are just on pasture and have purina 12:12 and redmonds loose salt. We turn them out of the corral as yearlings in April or so and don't get them in until we start them under saddle as 3's in the spring. We do catch them to deworm/trim feet. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | 3-5 # of alfalfa a day and grass hay/pasture. This is the first year I haven't grained them at least a little. I quit in the spring when the grass was good and they don't look like they need any now. They are all in good flesh. |

Location: So Cal | Mine gets all the Teff she wants, a couple flakes of Alfalfa per day, and a little American Family Feed (alfalfa). She's not getting ridden right now but will probably up the AFF when she goes back to work. She looks awesome. |

Location: CTX | Mine is in a pasture with a round bale 22/7 a day. he gets 1/2 lbs of Renew Gold in the morning and 1/2 lbs Renew Gold and a bucket of Omnis in the evening. I only keep them in at pm feeding time cuz my 8 yo is a bully and would inhale his food before eating the 2 yo's food. Also they all get forco and the 2 yo is on SLH immune. Trying to get rid of a sarcoid. |
