Re: [RC] RE:Susan G.'s response to what's in YOUR Mash? - Keith Kibler

Truman,
We have used both of them too. We settled on the Ultium as the calming effect was really pretty dramatic.

I did a bit of an experiment between Ultium and XTN when Ultium came out. They are fairly close - except Ultium is pelleted and XTN is a textured feed. I found that I needed to feed more Ultium than XTN to maintain the same weight. Since Ultium cost more - that didn't seem to make sense.

I went back to the XTN.

Ultium is wonderful stuff imho. My main horse was a bit of "cross wired" when I bought him 2 1/2 years ago. He would do stuff like jump over things with the rider or between the trailer and truck connection and then go for a high speed run out. You know, stuff like that. Then when stalled, he would constantly hop. When seperated from "his" mares, he would run the fence line.
Ultium was like horsey prozak. In trying to figure it out, I was told that ultium is partially digested in each stomach which somehow calms them. Can anyone explain that? Dr Susan, beet pulp in ultium? I did not know that. So, you use it AND beet pulp and beet pulp in your mash too?
