Hay, grass and Triple Lite.  Whatever he gets at home and can be stuffed
into a baggie (yes, it's possible to handpick some grass and carry that

Carrots and some apple is fine, but don't introduce senior or beet pulp at
the ride if he doesn't get them at home.

I'd say let him graze when grass is available, and when it isn't, then offer
the grain.
