Article on "Feeding The Endurance Horse"

["Michelle Rowe" <michrowe@frontier.net>]

Sarah, thanks for the pointer to the KER site.  There's a good *basic* feeding article there that touches on feeding strategies for the endurance horse.  There is also some interesting discussion about feeding forage, how much water it requires, and how much extra weight it requires.

 

I wonder how the water content in the horse's gut varies when Tom's and Heidi's ideal feeding strategies are compared.  Is there a difference in what the horse is carrying in water weight?
