You may be thinking of Purina Athlete. I tried it when it first came
out, and during the time I fed it Kahlil had some metabolic problems on
some of his rides. I have no way of knowing if the Athlete was the
cause, or if I was feeding it improperly, but I stopped using it.
Please, this is *very* anecdotal. I believe others used it with
success.
