Hi Terre! Thanks for answering. Skook doesn't get any grain, for
exactly
that reason. She gets beet pulp and alfalfa cubes, with supplements,
and
about a lb. of horse pellets per day. I didn't cut her back but I asked
the
vet about it and he felt that there wasn't much there for carbs. Thanks
for
the heads-up on the typo. Can I correct that with Ridecamp? -F.
