"Fat
is what gives the energy, not carbs. Same with people, loading your body on
carbs for a race gives you a quick fix, eat a good fatty and protein filled
meal and you won't feel hungry or lacking for energy."
Gee, Maybe Dr.
Atkins was really on to something. Ya think?

I think this report is very interesting. I
cannot send it all at once to RC, so I will do so in
installments.
It does support what I have found in my
research for the past eight months, and that is that Fat is the key, not
Carbs.
Since Strider colicked on beet pulp and all
the other grains I was giving him, I have had him only on Stablized Rice bran,
Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, an occasional cup of steamed oats and a
vitamin/mineral supplement. Along with free choice Moormans Block. I
have had no further problems.

AAEP 2002: Recent Developments in Equine Nutrition by: Sarah L. Evers,
Editorial Assistant 2/4/03
A lot has happened in the field of equine
research in the last five years. Ginger Rich, PhD, of Rich Equine
Nutritional Consulting in Eads, Tenn.; and Leslie Breuer, PhD, of LH Breuer
and Associates, updated veterinarians and others who attended the Current
Concepts in Equine Nutrition in-depth session at the 2002 American
Association of Equine Practitioners' (AAEP) Convention. Not all of the
research done from 1998-2002 could be included in their presentation titled
"Recent Developments in Equine Nutrition with Farm and Clinic
Applications," so Rich and Breuer chose what they felt were some of the
most important research findings.
To organize their presentation, they
divided it into these topics--water; energy; minerals; protein; vitamins;
growth; broodmare nutrition; performance horse nutrition; nutritionally
related diseases; new products, ingredients, and processing methods; and
miscellaneous topics.
