I second that! My horses get all the forage they want (good quality Teff/orchard hay in front of them 24/7) with small amts of grain hay and alfalfa-mix morning and night. Once a day, they get a total of about 5c. AFTER SOAKING of concentrates. 1c. of it is the Dynamite Pelleted grain ration, along with their vitamin supplements.
They are in good flesh, recover well, and so far have stayed sound!

Wow- 10 lbs a day of Concentrates is way too much in my opinion too ! I agree with the other Heidi, lots of good quality forage and some concentrates. I like Dynamite vitamins and have used them for years, even became a Rep ! Eventually your horse will catch up, I think. I have seen horses fed too much concentrated food develop ephysitis ( spelling ) which is inflammation in the joints. Good Luck- and give him time to grow up. Happy Trails ! - Heidi Helly
