Since it is the "predominant" hay here in the SE, of COURSE a lot of horses will colic on it! ANY horse that colics is most likely to be eating it in the SE! I feed exclusively Tift 44 and a "taste" of West Coast Alfafa.Jim, I too have fed it all my life and never had a problem. But that doesn't mean that it can't cause a problem <shrug> I see no reason why the rider I was riding with would make this up :-p Why don't you call the vets at Auburn and find out more for us so we can all rest easier in the SE? :) Tina =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
