Carbs and tying up

[Misxfire@aol.com]

Hi Tom,

       Thanks for your reply.  I still have some of your product that you 
kindly mailed me a few years ago.  I have not been a good test subject 
because I used the stuff too randomly.  However I can do a little test this 
Tuesday.  The reason I say little is that my horse is not in training now; he 
has been laid off for over 2 months.  I was planning on riding him for the 
first time on Tues.  I feed alf and oat (no grain cause no exercise) and 
yesterday took him off the alf in prep for the Tues ride.  What I have done 
with him after a layoff is to take him off alf and grain, if used, for 3 or 4 
days prior to resuming exercise and that has worked.  The reason I do that is 
that a local vet told me that alf is implicated in tying up and that she has 
had sucess in taking tie up horses completely off alf.  Anyway I will put him 
back on the alf and try the carb on Monday night.  When I get him in shape, 
prob by mid-Jan, I will try the carbs again.
