Behaviour can be manipulated nutritionally; horses can be hyped up, or slowed down by regulating the input of energy sources and energy-regulating supplements......................

Lethargy/Lack of Stamina

If condition good, add mineral/vitamin supplement to feed - e.g. Pegavite™, Pegasus Premium C.L.O., Equi-Builda™ for a few days before work.

If condition is poor, feed (enough) good quality (soya or linseed rich) conditioning mix or nuts.

Increase training to get horse fitter.

Feed Competition or Racehorse Mix/Nuts/Oats

Too Fizzy

Reduce feed, especially high starch/sugar feeds.

Reduce/eliminate mineral/vitamin supplement.

Change to higher oil/higher fibre/oat-free feeds.

Try probiotic/yeast.

Try magnesium-rich supplement - (n.b. most Horseheath products are well supplemented with magnesium).

Feed Non-Heating Mix/Economy Mix/AntiLam™, Body-Builda™, Working Horse Mix (last two may be too much for a pony)
