Re: tie ups and carbs

["GESA BRINKS" <gesaeqfx@pe.net>]

My 1/2 arab/appaloosa mare ties up on alfalfa.  Took me awhile and some
detective work to figure it out.  She even tied up showing heat to a gelding
next to her. (that was embarassing and frightening).  She had been on
alfalfa her entire life.  She is the reason I became interested in proper
nutrition for equines.  Havent fed the stuff in over 9 years.  Well, except
for a little in a forage mix hay.  Can we hear a little more on the evils of
the alfalfa diet???    Thanks.  gesa n clovis
