The problem with fat feeding is that for best results you need about
12% fat in the TOTAL FEED. This is almost impossible to achieve with oil.
What to do? Rice Bran helps, Fat PAX 100 a milk derivative and oil will
work. I will cover this in my Web Page (http://www.endurance.net/hollander)
as soon as I am tired with Resonant Riding, which I am really excited about.
Anyway 12% can be achieved with FAT PAX, rice bran and oil. It really works
for 100 milers, any race over 75 miles it pays. The research from the race
track indicates that injury is reduced and long term performance is better.
In the NEW edition of my Book, I do discuss fat feed in detail.( Endurance
Riding From Beginning to Winning) How to feed fat, how to make 12% fat
pellets and how to get 12% fat without pelleting. See pages 47-52, 189-190
and 195 for sources of suppliers. The book is available from Green Mansions
Inc. P O Box 100, Redmond, Oregon 97756, $17.45 including shipping.
