[RC] Molassas/Nutritional needs - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I have a new horse in that I'm bringing back from being a pasture ornament for the last 2 years. He's a grade arabian and energy wise much different than my POA mare, who's no slouch in that dept.either. I board so don't have much control over feeding. The barn manager feeds straight oats in the summer and in the winter switches to sweet feed. I've got him on a handful of the stuff only so he'll also get his vitamins and flax. I'd certainly like to take him off of that and have him only on hay as he's one of those air ferns too but other than getting several flakes of grass hay in the am and pm he's not got 24/7 access. He's not an endurance horse and will most likely end up being sold as a dressage prospect in the spring. So, under those circumstances and looking at Karen's chart (way cool by the way) I'm wondering if it would be better to keep him on the sweet feed or if I could just feed him beet pulp. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
