I cannot address that particular feed but  I do know that the "Nutrena Senior" is available without molasses and they call that one the "dry".

Maybe there other feeds have that option as well.

It is a good idea....they make good feeds!

I currently use Triple Crown complete..I like that product very well.

I am not currently an endurance rider....so I cannot address it as an endurance type feed.
