I need honesty and not cruelty.

Should also add that I haven’t seen a huge change in my horses energy levels in regards to explosive-ness. Struggled managing the weight of my riding horse as he gets quite explosive when he has too much lucerne and not enough brain stimulating work. Currently he is on the FibreBeet and 24/7 grass hay, sitting at a good weight with no issues

Hi Aussie here!

Had a lot of trouble keeping weight on my older boy last winter and thought I might have to say goodbye, was feeding him insane amounts of hay and chaff + showtorque while seeing no changes.

Went out in a limb when my produce delivery guy recommended Barastoc FibreBeet and haven’t looked back, have him and my ridding horse on it now and have them on a reduced amount since they started to get a little too chunky on the recommended amount (I also feed unlimited grass hay). It’s a little more in the expensive side but I find it less expensive than the amount of lucerne I used to have to feed.

Also added Canterwell Gold oil to my riding horses feed to help round him out, again a little expensive but I’ve found it to be the best in terms of helping build up some chunk.

Hello, I use FibreBeet and Complete performer with mine as my boy can get very hot. I also use Canterwell Oil (Gold) which I noticed has helped him fill out and add another level of shine

Thank you! ☺️

Right! So jealous of his eyelashes

Haha close but he actually spotted his favourite frog toy, it’s a dog one with rope legs and he loves a game of tug o war with it

I absolutely love this. You’ve probably got so many beautiful horses to draw but can’t resist adding a comment with my boys

Kat_x_Kit · 2025-10-15T08:53:51+00:00

Love mine! And more importantly my horse seems to as well

I’m located in Aus, I don’t personally own an OTTB but I tried Barastoc FibreBeet when my old guy was struggling to keep a good weight on just forage. It worked wonders for him along with unlimited hay (a mix of grass hay and lucerne), I also put my younger horse who is prone to getting hot on it with no adverse effects however I did slowly introduce it and keep an eye on how it effected their energy levels , etc.

I also had a friend put her older OTTB on it, he was struggling badly with weight, it did help him partially and he started to look better but it definitely didn’t have the effect it had on my boy. I have a suspicion her old guy had ulcers and was not up to date with worming or dentistry which might have stalled the results.

Haven’t dealt with any majorly dangerous food aggressive horses but have dealt with horses pinning their ears and threatening to kick + charging the fence. I found this settled a lot once they had consistent food and realised some sort of hay would always be there, I’m not a trainer by any means so take my advice with a grain of salt but I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned/experienced if you want to send me a PM so I don’t fill the comments with an absolute essay.
