Subject: Feeding only hay

I did Tevis and quite a few other rides on a mare that got no grain regularly. I would sometimes give her grain at a ride, but not consistently. Alfalfa cubes and dryland pasture were all she was accustomed to (unless the nectarines were ripe. Then she would crawl under the fence and gorge on those.) She was so hard to get along with that I was afraid to grain her. She never suffered from lack of energy or any metabolic problem.
