Re: [RC] Fat/Dietary Questions - GoTory
Shoot, Susan- I read that "in my book" part of your post on feeding and got
all excited about a new publication relevant to endurance nutrition... went
back and re-read more slowly and was disappointed to realize it was a
metaphor... rats!!
Question, tho, re: feeding fats at a ride and just prior... does that
include rice bran? I've seen many riders adding to their gruels and even the
water to make it more palatable. I am currently using the pelleted one that
is supposed to be balanced... not much- maybe half pound per day - the horses
love it. Should it be stopped for a LD ride?
One more question, if I might... Can one determine hormonal imbalances thru
blood work? Am wondering if my mare is over-producing a male hormone due to
some personality changes, but wanted to wait til ride season is over to have
ovaries palpated.
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance! nikki
