Re: Complete Feed Recommendations

I'm assuming that you'll have some way of carrying feed with you on/in
something other than the horse's back.

I happen to like Complete Advatage, I think it's a good feed.  But I
wouldn't feed it without some other source of log sem fiber---hay or grazing
of some sort.  Without crunching numbers, I think a max of half of the
horse's daily ration in the form of CA, and the rest as hay (preferably
grass hay) is about right.
