Re: feeding my irish draught x yearling

Hi Sammie,

It would be best to also provide your yearling with a vitamin/mineral supplement designed for growing horses. Perhaps his youngstock mix already has this added -- make certain of that.

I would also add alfalfa (lucerne) to his diet if the haylage does not include this.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
