Don't mind at all = ) This is what we have built up to (keep in mind for those who don't know you can't throw a ton of feed and supplements at underweight horses all at once. They need time to adjust slowly).

He gets a good quality orchard/fescue/clover mix hay. He picks through about a bale of that throughout the day since we don't have 'pasture'. I do handgraze him a couple of times a week but that's more for his enjoyment.

As for grain/supplements...

AM: 1 1/2 scoop of oats, 1/2 scoop of 11% sweet feed
Lunch: 1/2 scoop of oats
PM: Same amount of grain as AM with, one cup calf manna, some flax seed, weight builder, electrolytes and of course his MSM/Glucosamine for his leg, oh and some corn oil to add shine = )

He'll go off the weight builder and calf manna once he's up to his ideal weight.

Figured I'd update this as this guy is doing so great. He started his ground work training today. He's been here about 5? weeks now. Here are some recent pics:
