Oats: (Crushed) Energy giving and contains fiber, only to be fed to horses in hard work. Can make horses over-excitable, not recommended for ponies.
Corn: A good source of energy and fat, similar to oats or barley.
Barley: (Crushed) Energy giving and fattening. Does not make horses as excitable as oats, but some horses are allergic to it.

Complete Feed Pellets: Generic, brand-name horse pellets; a concoction of different grains. A cheap alternative to Blue Seal products.
