        I am happy to report that my "little" test with your product was a 
sucess.  I gave my horse 4 oz each night before I rode him two days in row 
and he did not tie up after a long layoff.  I'll give him another dose 
tonight and ride again tomorrow and the next night I'll skip it and ride the 
next day and keep on going.  The reason I waited to report after the 2nd day 
is that the sucker has tied up on the second day of exercise after a layoff>

Good plan Judy.  Thanks for the report. It will give others the courage to 
buck the trends and save themselve a lot of trouble--and their horses a lot 
of pain.

      After I get him in shape I'll put my money where my mouth is by laying 
him off for 3-4 days and give him a dose of carbs the night before I resume 
riding.  He should be a good test subject since he has tied up 5 times over 
the last 7 years each time due to my laying him off for a few days while in 
training.  Cutting or eliminating his grain did not prevent the tie-ups.>

Egad, the ultimate test! Ok, let's see what happens. maybe I can get a bet 
down before then.
