In Endurance books I resd about feeding fat to horses who do a lot of
endurance competing. I hav no problems with that but I also read about
giving horses animal fat. I don't think that is good for the horse because:
1) in Europe we just had a big crisis because cows from England got BSE (
crazy cow desease a brain desease that humans too can get when they eat the
meat of a sick cow). Th ecows are sick because they got feed wich was made
of animals. Lots of cows are destroyed because of that. The disease is also
known in sheep ( wel a desease that's familliair).
Knowing that I was wondering if horses can get that desease too by eating
animal fat?
Horses are vegetarian animals so from ethical views I just don't like to
give them animal fat.
