According to this paper:

"The hypothesis tested was that dietary fat, when compared with an 
isoenergetic amount of non-structural carbohydrates, stimulates lipolysis in 
adipose tissue and also stimulates the fatty-acid oxidative capacity in 
skeletal muscle from horses. ...It is concluded that our hypothesis is not 
supported by the present results."

That is, there was no "fat adaptation" observed in this experiment.
