Omilene 200 is a very good product as well as the other Purina products. The 300 is a step up toward a competition food. Get a hold of Purina and talk with them. The 300 is maybe a buck a bag more that the 200 so they're not going to get any richer off you for going up to 300. It does sound like you're happy with what you're doing and getting results. Are you running her on those hilly pastures or is she just turned out on them? There is a big difference there. G.Affleck

Subject: [RC] re: ultium and other high tech feeds
Your post on the high fat feeds is interesting to me. I'm just beginning training for distances rides with my 10 year old Mare. For two months we have been riding 3 to 4 times a week. She is also turned out on a hilly 3 acre pasture so she has came a long nice. I'm starting to see her muscles build nicely.
She is on Omilene 200 and has been her entire life...less or more depending on how much we work. She does so well on it. I'm just starting my research on her feed, if it has high fat or not. The breeder stressed to me that no matter what I do with her keep her on a grain like Omilene 12 to 14% protein. She said the same thing about her hay, alfalfa hay only with same protein %.
My question, do any of you suggest leaving her on Omilene but move her up to the 300 or 400? Or should I consider an entirely different feed altogether? This is a tough adjustment to make for me, since she is my first horse. Had her 5 years now and have not feed her differently yet.
