I think you ar eon the right track..maybe talk to your vet abou tportions ect..and what kind and how much in the way of suppliments
I would give him a pelleted grain no sweet feeds..Born to Win is what I have used in the past and my orphan colt who is now 4 yrs old grew nicely on that..
Other than that all the hay he can eat! Good luck with him
