Re: RC: Tying up

[owens <owensall@sierranet.net>]

Dear Barbara;
My older mare, Teza, had a chronic history of tying up.  She finally
went right when I took alfalfa out of her diet and fed her bermuda grass
exclusively.  Now that she's not competing and she is out on five plus
hilly acres, she can tolerate a bit of alfalfa, but still gets primarily
forage and good oat hay, some beet pulp.
