Re: [RC] feeding question - Mary Sutliff

Overweight horses are often insulin resistant and if so they should not
have carrots, apples, grain or grass!  You need to find a low carb, low
sugar feed and hay.  If you are in the northwest or parts of California
the Sterrett Bros.Low Carb Pellets would give him something in his
bucket at dinner time.  You can mix a little beet pulp with the pellets
to get the supplements down him.  Also  exercise is really important to
help the horse take off that extra weight.  It can take a long time to
take 100 lbs off a horse.  
Sterett Bros. have a web site and another interesting site is
safergrass.com.
