[RC] Probiotics - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: April pmacedir@xxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I have decided to try using probiotics on Tanna to try to improve his eating 
and his gut sounds at a ride. I know some horses have success with probiotics 
and some do not.

Tanna currently gets 2 oz of Accel every day. I know Accel has some probiotics 
in it, but I withhold it (and biotin) before a ride as I am concerned about 
testing positive for drugs. I know the biotin has yucca in it, and I just pull 
the Accel to be on the safe side.

So question 1: Is feeding Accel on a daily basis enough to give Fastrack only 
at rides, or should I feed Fastrack on a daily basis, too, only upping the 
dosage during a ride?

Question 2: Should I skip the Fastrack and just give 2 oz of Accel daily, 
including ride days? (I don't want to violate the drug rule, just not sure that 
Accel violates the drug rule.)

I'm leaning towards feeding Fastrack on a daily basis and upping it at rides, 
but I'd rather just feed it at rides because of the cost.

Thanks for your input.
