I have seen NO studies that indicate that Bermuda Hay is "harder to digest"

the "predominant" hay here in the SE, of COURSE a lot of horses will colic
on it! ANY horse that colics is most likely to be eating it in the SE!  I
feed exclusively Tift 44 and a "taste" of West Coast Alfafa.

Jim, I too have fed it all my life and never had a problem. But that
doesn't mean that it can't cause a problem <shrug>

I see no reason why the rider I was riding with would make this up :-p Why
don't you call the vets at Auburn and find out more for us so we can all
rest easier in the SE? :)
