[endurance] Need new feed

We had been feeding a well-balanced 12% protein pellet feed called
Tiz Whiz - very good stuff! Unfortunately, the feed dealer is no
longer planning to carry it. (They will not say why.) They have
switched to being a Nutrena & Purina dealer only.

Does anybody have any experience w/ these 2 brand lines of feed? It looks
as though Purina's high quality feeds for active horses (ie our
endurance horses) has hi protein (14%) which I would not want to
feed. Does anybody know much about Nutrena's Pharr line that was
advertised in the EN? What is the protein/fat content? I could
possibly talk my dealer into special ordering a feed for us if it was
from one of her lines.

Any info would be appreciated. We live in SE Virginia in the
Norfolk, VA area.

Thanks!
