Re: [RC] Fwd: [RC] Empower and XTN - Rebecca FabiszakI have no idea where you are getting your Empower but it is $23 to $25 a bag here and as I responded to Mike, we fed our gangly 3 year old QH 1/3 of a 1 lb coffee can and it put all of the weight on him that he needed with just two bags. Doesn't make them "Hot" either. Hard to train a "hot head". I love the stuff. Beccy

be cheaper in the long run to buy another horse <g> Isn't Empower about $40 a 50 lb bag? It has high fat content, seems you could buy another source of fat cheaper....I can buy a 50 lb bag of rice bran pellets for $9, and get jugs of corn oil at the cheap outlet store....
I am working on getting weight on a young Foxtrotter who needs muscle and fat; he is also getting regular exercise to build muscle...which also burns calories...he gets, of course, free choice hay, and two pretty big mashes morning and night with soaked beet pulp pellets, and a variety of what ever bagged feed I get a good deal on, plus rice bran pellets and corn oil.....he is looking a lot better and gaining weight, muscling up nicely and energy out the door! What will really help in the next month or so is some nice green pasture.....
