Re: RC: hay on rides

[Sheila <tondi313@yahoo.com>]

Maria,

I want to get my horse to eat, when we are in our hold
and if alfalfa is what she'll eat, than alfalfa is it.
 As long as her heart rate is recovered, I want her
eating and drinking the whole hold.  They burn so many
calories on these long rides, they need to eat.  I
also want her guts to keep moving.  I won't feed only
grain at a hold and a bucket of mash with treats in it
may not be enough.
