<< What about adding vegetable oils to the feed before, during & after? It
seems that this would provide higher potency. How long would it take for the
metabolism to utilize it? Are there downsides I am overlooking?

Bruce,

I don't know. Depending on the intensity of work, glycogen metabolism will
push fat metabolism aside. Fat, in turn, can compromise (inhibit) glycogen
usage. I'm not sure where the breakpoints are in an equine endurance activity.
>From reports in humans, though, fat intake on the day of the event makes for
sluggish performance.
