[endurance] Feeding Rice Bran??

Hey y'all!

I've got a question for those of you that feed rice bran. Do you worry
about the "dustiness" of it. I usually try very hard to avoid "dusty"
foods. But this rice bran is almost purely dust. I put it with her other
food, and then wet it with the oil and some water and molasses mixed.
Then shake it all up. Also, how much do you feed? Special doesn't like
it and is very suspicous of it, so right now she's getting about 2 cups.
That's with her other food: 6 pounds Manna Senior, 2 scoops Special Blend
(chopped oat hay & alfalfa mixed with a little molasses), and 2 cups corn
oil. She's putting on weight very nicely with this diet. I'm very
pleased.

As to horses getting "hotter" with certain foods; people have asked me t
his repeatedly, since I'm feeding Special the Equine Senior. My
theory is: she can't -possibly- get -any- hotter. So it doesn't matter
what I feed her. She's already peaked out *:)

Thanks!
