I also use simply natural but I also use a balancer ( also made by Red Mills) called Growcare as a top dressing , he only needs about a coffee mugful a day , it contains every thing a growing foal needs , dont rule out the shows completely , we have fun charity shows here too that include fancy dress , driving , best turned out , jumping etc , your children would love it ! Im glad hes getting out more now oh by the way , my first mini stallion was also called Scooter
