> I tried feeding Purina Athlete years ago and had trouble with quality
from bag to bag. Bugs, rancidity...my distributor said they didn't move
alot of it in my area (I was the only endurance rider around at the
time, mostly dressage and show horses at my barn) and they were having
problems with keeping fresh product on the shelf. High fat content
means usually a relatively short shelf life unless it's somehow
stabilized, so I just went to feeding corn oil, easier, cheaper, less
hassle. Just my experience with it, IMHO.
