Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.5324 What to feed - Chipnml
I know I'm a bit late joining in this thread, but I'd just like to add, I
agree with Truman....what my horse wants to eat, he gets. That being said,
when Dezi and I did our first 100 this weekend (oh....did I mention DEZI AND I
DID OUR FIRST 100 THIS WEEKEND???), I fed a combination of beet pulp, senior
feed and XTN in various combinations, according to what he wanted to
eat. Usually I soaked a couple handfuls of XTN and beet pulp with his
elytes, BCAA and probiotics, then a bucket with beet pulp, senior and more
XTN. We had plenty of grazing along the entire route (which was, by the
way, 100 miles....OUR FIRST!!!), and I also had timothy/alfalfa hay for
him. Dezi's a very good eater, I swear he gains weight on rides....even
when it's HIS VERY FIRST 100. I reallly don't worry about him getting too
much grain, but then every horse is an individual, too.
