Fat Feeding at vet check .. WHY? wont do the horse any good.. NEEDS CARBOs..
fuel he can burn soon.

After all the stuff that has gone by.. on tthe fat vs carbo .. feeding..
I feed high fat at home.. to get the weight up.. NOT for a fuel to burn on
the ride.
I still contend a horse will do better burning CARBOs be it grains or a
carbo supplement.. tha can be converted to glucose- glygogin sp sp and
burned long before fat..

so my study is still NOT dead .. just quite.. need more time to get the base
line study better.. and rides that we can get to..
feeding carbo supplements vs garins has to be better.. fast up take no
chance of fermantation colic..
more to come
