Hello Susan,
I think feeding a grass pellet, plus appropriate supplements, is the best way to go because you would have to feed the recommended amount of WellSolve L/S in order for your horse to get all the vitamins/minerals that are listed on the label. And if you do not, then you end of with deficiencies. So, your idea of High Point is a good one. I would also add some flaxseed meal -- consider Nutra Flax because it does not have any added oats.
All the best,
Dr. Juliet Getty
