Thanks, Heidi. I am wondering about all these problems with pulse and tying
up: Were these horses on Athlete exclusively? If I add one cup of it to what
I am already feeding, no other changes being made, could I expect weight
gain and no pulse problems? I have tried many other supplements to add
weight and had problems with my horse not eating grain at all if I added
corn oil, rice bran, beet pulp. With Fatpack he had pulse problems. (I may
just have to be happy with a skinny horse! ) He is happy with half Omalene
200 and half crimped oats, but it takes him forever to eat it all! He gets a
21/2 lb coffee can full of the mix twice a day. My non-endurance horses, by
comparison, eat 8 oz. of the same mixture twice a day, and they are fat!
Thanks.
