Re: [RC] molasses - was tying up question (long) - Heidi SmithJMO, but I think there's as much variation among horses in their ability to handle simple sugars as there is among humans. Some humans have a different metabolism, activity level, genetic background and lifetime diet, and so are variably sensitive to carbohydrates, the most extreme cases of intolerance being diabetics. Ditto that, Susan, and thanks for going into the details. Horses are not just big fuzzy "black boxes" into which one inputs the magic formula and expects the magic results to come out. While there is a general theme to the way they do things, there is SO much individual variation at every little cellular function that in the final summation, there can be considerable difference from horse to horse, whether it be in how they handle simple carbs or how their guts and kidneys and sweat glands deal with e-lytes and fluids...
