Fine tuning the feed

With Kicks being only 3 therefore a "baby" still growing we will keep the protein levels a bit higher than the mature racehorses, and add some extras for any specific issues that crop up, like the cough in the immediate.

At this stage she will get:

Crushed Barley
Extruded Maize
Sugar Beet
Anandale Lucerne Forage
Vegetable Oil
Molasses
A mix of oil seeds fresh ground daily (Linseed, Pumpkin seed, sunflower)
Equilibrium B (vitamin and mineral premix high in B vitamins and magnesium)

Added to breakfast will be:
Apple cider vinegar
Manuka Honey
and an infusion of Peppermint, echinacea, licorice, fennel, and aniseed (a cup of tea with breakfast anyone?)
I still need to source a couple of extras yet.

Until she starts into some serious work I will feed her at approximately 75 MJ per day, with 25-30MJ of that coming from roughage.
This will increase to almost double once she is in full work.

She is "hanging out" with Snow White, my pinto pacer broodmare as I want to keep her away from my racehorses until I have a handle on what's going on with the cough, but I prefer she has company, (so does she).
At this stage there is absolutely no sign of any nasal discharge, the cough is dry, and she seems otherwise healthy, so I'll wait a few days before I panic and get the vet in. Sometimes the dust in the sand here throws them a bit when they first arrive.

Martin, the dentist is away in the SI for a week or so more, so she will have to wait for him to get home for dentistry.
