> What does everybody feed their horses at the Vet Checks?  I have searched
the archives and can't find any information.  Is it okay to feed grain
(Enduro-Event which is 10% Fat 10% Protien) at every VC or should I give him
beet pulp?  And how much do I feed?  He's not much of a hay eater especially
at the VC and there's not always grass so I need to feed him something.


Not that I'm the last word in endurance nutrition, but try this:

It will give you a start on some suggestions.  I'll get Part 2 over to the
Web Goddess this morning, and Part 3 will go up in a few weeks once the
August issue of EN goes out.

But the short answer suggestion would be soaked beet pulp mixed with a
little grain, plus whatever hay/grass you can get into him.
