I do have one. Except he's fat now and has turned into an easy keeper (I think mostly he can't be in a big herd or he stresses all his weight off).
To fatten him up after bringing him home, I was feeding pasture and then Buckeye Ultimate Finish 25 and a "fat and fibre" grain on a 50/50 mix (he eats really slowly and I don't have time to put him in to eat for hours...). It was a good mix, I could feed relatively little and he gained weight quickly.

Now both horses are fat, so they are off grain. They have hay, but are still mostly out grazing whats left of the grass (3 horses on ~10 acres). When there is no grazing left, if they start to lose condition I'll put them back on the fat and fibre (store brand).
