I have heard others say this and it
makes me wonder a bit.
My daughter's pony is 20 something. He gets about 3-4 pounds of senior
once a day, every day. He's on free choice hay and does NOT have a weight
problem. Should I be feeding him something else? He does well on
the feed. He has held his weight well. I hesitate to change him. I've
also started giving it to my Shagya mare who needs to put on a few
pounds. She's still getting her regular horse and mule feed, but I'm
"throwing in" another ration of the senior to see if it helps
her pick up weight like it did him. I know that it's supposed to be fed
as a complete feed, but I don't think it's doing any harm by feeding it
as a regular grain ration. If not this feed, what
else?
