RE: Complete Feed Recommendations

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

Amber should probably chime in, but I was told by their competitor that
Complete Advantage is considered a complete feed.  Since my horses are on
a hay and pasture base diet, Nutrena suggested that their Farr Legacy has
a more "bang for the dollar" in terms of vitamins and minerals
because it is a supplement, not a complete feed.  Farr Legacy is not as
readily available as Purina products.  Purina seems to have a good line
of what they consider as complete pelleted feeds but I wouldn't want to
feed only alfalfa based pellets because of the "long fiber" issue.

I am looking for a COMPLETE feed that I can give my Icelandic horses
while 
riding across the U.S.  I would love to hear what some of you might
recommend 
I use.  We will be traveling 20 to 25 miles per day with 1 1/2 days of
rest 
every 5 days or so.  We'll be packing a lot of the time but grazing will
be 
difficult at times.  I would prefer a beet pulp based complete feed but
I'm 
not sure there's such a thing.   
Another alternative would be a feed that does NOT include roughage and
then 
hay pellets.  I'd love to hear what you all might suggest.  Many
thanks!!   
Eva
