[RC] Overconditioned horse - Kathleen

Title: Overconditioned horse

Is free choice hay (hay in front of him ALL THE TIME) an option?  What about pasture?

My horses have always worked hard and been very fit; they stay sleek, their ribs are covered, and they have tons of energy but they get free choice grass hay all the time and pasture “in season”.  There is always more hay in the feeder than they can finish between feedings.  It sounds like your horse just may not be getting enough calories.

I am also wondering why no beet pulp, rice bran or oil?

What about flax seed?
