[RC] More on Gl - Dot Wiggins

Note on how the Gl was used.     While it was given in measured amounts, (2
to 4 ounces) by syringe, horse always was given feed in addition.
  During ride it would be a sloppy mix of rolled 3-way, a little bran, and
beet pulp,  all the horse would eat, and any hay they would eat, what ever
kind they choose, usually alfalfa..   (Most  would not eat at any vet check
much more than a pound of grain, and a little more than a pound (dry wgt) of
beet pulp.
Post ride would be some sloppy beet pulp with grain free choice,   more
small grain meals at intervals thru the evening.  Free choice hay at all
times, before and after, more than one kind if available.

Hard keepers won't eat this much, the survivors are always hungry.

I've used it several years ago for a hard keeper horse.

If I gave it before the ride he was a basket case at least for the first
loop.   If started at the first vet check, given before any other food or
e-lytes, he would eat and drink better.  Given post ride, he maintained
weight better.  No matter how much good feed I could get him to eat, with
out the GL, he would lose weight for several days after a ride.


If I was riding longer miles and for bigger goals I would use the GL
during
and after all rides.
