2. Does this work? The
beer, not the oats. And if so, why? And are there any detrimental
side-effects (apart from obvious ones, like alcoholism, drunkenness and gas)
which I can gleefully point out to moron next time I meet her (evil twin in
control again!)
Well, alcohol metabolizes to fat, so it's a
source of calories, though not a lot, assuming the horse isn't getting a case
of it every day. :-)) Detrimental side-effects, doubt it, not in that
amount. Why it works---my guess would be that horses like the taste and
it stimulates an appetitie to eat more of other things that *will* add
significant calories.
