RE: [RC] [SPAM] [RC] Pounds of hay - Karen Standefer

So, Eleanor, if this is true, how do the French compete as such a high level without supplementing?  They are competing at world record setting speeds, in desert areas (Dubai) with no supplementation and not having ANY metabolic pulls. 

 

Is there a link to the research?  How many horses and under what conditions was it done?

If we're talking about hay only (not cubes or pellets) and if the hay does indeed have 0.75% chloride, at the lowest sweating rates if they're never going longer than 4 hours between eating and are always eating at least 8 pounds of hay for every hour riding, you're probably covered. If eating less than that, or sweating heavier, you go into the negative zone and have to play catch up.

 

There's been a lot of discussion about the best way to feeding during a ride, but not much along the lines of actually checking to back it up. It would be very interesting to see how different feeding practices influence them metabolically.
