I'd recommend a ration balancer for the easy keeper. It's really helped bring up a bloom on my new guy, without adding weight. He looks great.
Feeding Grain?
Hello!
My mare is a "hard keeper" and loses weight very easily. In the past she's been given a senior feed over the winter months to try to keep some cushion on her. Is there something better than senior feed (she's only early-mid teens) to keep her weight on that isn't pure sweet feed?
My gelding on the other hand is a chunk monster and has never been skinny a day in his life. Is there some type of grain I can give him at the same time I feed my mare that won't cause him to explode?

Neither of them have health issues and they are sitting as pasture puffs, though I may do some light riding with my mare (ponying the gelding) until the weather gets too icky. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
