good doer (un cheval économique)

keep the English and provide some explanation. in the explanations above, such a horse is also called thrifty. that's where I got the économique. Good doer can't be translated imho.

Alimentation :

Le Barbe est un cheval qui se maintient en état avec peu.

Attention aux pâturages trop riches et aux rations trop énergétiques. Il vaut mieux le mettre le plus près possible de ses conditions d’origines (élevage en région Sud ou en montagne).

C'est la raison pour laquelle on peut dire qu'il profite avec une ration bien inférieure à celle nécessaire à un cheval Selle Français par exemple. C'est donc un cheval "économique". Sur prairies et même sans apport de concentrés, certains sont même à mettre au régime pour rester dans le type !

c'est un good doer - mais pour la nourriture des chevaux?
native horses = chevaux indigènes ou natifs
