Ridecamp: [RC] Feeding - Cindi Hit IT

FROM   Roger Rittenhouse     roger@xxxxxxxxxxx
The below post by Cindi STOLE my thunder - now Susan will get in
before I do. hehehe   joke joking ...

I have been fooling around - ACTUALLY I RODE for almost 2 HOURS ..

My feed paper while a bit more drawn out with background will
demonstrate just what Cindi has figured out.
AND WHY I have gone back to basics.. with only slight adulterations.
I have been at this for almost 30 years - feeding performance horses,
and appear to have come full circle.

Designer Feeds  WHY?  or
Bag of Hay Feed  or
Hi-Fat Lo Fat /Hi Pro Lo Pro / Hi Carbs Lo Carbs
and so on.
