Is it stablized Rice Bran. ? Susan G. told us , that regular rice bran is 
rancid almost as soon as it is bagged. (Feel guilty here as I used to feed 
it.);0)-- I do believe it can also delete Vitamin E is my notes are right. 
It does have a high Phosphrous...  I have  a TB too (20) same foot thing>g< 
I finally was able to cut his pellets down , by feeding him Beet pulp and 
oil 2X a day. He also stopped his tendency to colic when we did. He now only 
gets 5 lbs of pellets per feeding when he used to get 10  at  a feeding 
years ago. About 1-2 Cup cooking oil (i buy at Sams and worked up to 
slowly)- Handful of so of Alfalfa pellets, and  about 2 lbs of beet pulp 
soaked. And free choice fescue/bermuda hay--average quality.
 Could feed more beet pulp-- but I have to carry his bucket  in one hand 
and the other 3 horses in the other hand (arabs & crorses of course), so I 
limit the beetpulp by volume :0)
