[RC] fat vs protein question - Sheila_LarsenQuestion I have, ok so the protein maybe higher than the horse in question (needs to put on weight) needs but even if you put a lower proten that isn't necessarily going to make him put on weight is it? I too have a horse that eats alot of hay (alfalfa grass am and meadow grass pm) almost as much as she can eat, about 1 - 2 pounds of Purinia 10 and about a pound of ground flax seed a daily and essentially very little work right now. She doesn't do well on beet pulp : ( blood work normal and has been wormed. Teeth are done regularly. I would love to see more weight on this horse. I guess I can add corn oil to the grain mix to increase fat but back to the original question, why would protein be relevant to the original question =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
