Re: [RC] Purina Strategy - sharp pennyI just top dress it in Reno's feed a week prior to a ride so his gut can get used to it. It's one of the few things Reno will eat at a ride and this is a horse that is the equilivent of an equine garbage disposal at home....he will eat any thing at home but get him to a ride and it's a whole 'nother story....sigh. I don't feed it all the time as it is rather pricey at $11/bag. For home I use a local feed mill that makes a very nice 10% protein feed with 8% fat that runs $5.50/bag.

Horses seemed to like it. Because it is in those small pellets, it also makes a nice mash when wet. We fed it daily for the time the horses were on the XP, but because that was unusual circumstances, I can not tell you much more on how the horses did. They ate it (and would often not eat other feeds) and seemed to hold weight well enough, and have a good attitude and energy level. I am starting to feed it now , but I am not much on daily grain and supplements as long as I have good pasture or hay, so could not give you any "educated information" on the product. Because we are getting ready to the Bryce XP, I just want to get the horses started on eating it, as I will feed it at the ride, and mix some in the beet pulp mash for traveling to encourage them to eat more on the road. Sorry I was not much help. I am sure there are a few using this feed with their endurance horses on a more consistent basis, that can give better opinions on how well it feeds.
