Hi!
I'm trying to fatten my horse up right now too, and I'm using Nutrena Empower.  I was using rice bran, but my friend informed me of this alternative.  Empower is better because the phosphorus-calcium ratio is balanced, whereas rice bran isn't balanced.  I feed beet pulp, and a lot of grass/alfalfa hay as well.  Empower is made up of high-fat rice bran,  flaxseed, trace minerals and some vitamin E and selenium as well.  It says on the label that it is 12% protein, 22% crude fat, and 6% fiber.

My horse likes the taste of it too.
Good luck,
Katie

> Hello looking for some advice for feed.  I have done two LD rides and my gelding did great. Ninth in the first and tenth in the second.  I am looking for a feed mix for a horse that drops weight during training.  A freind of mine got me using a Race Ready, which is not bad, but I would like to get back to a mix that is not sweet.  Race Ready is like 10% Protein and 12% Carbs which seemed to keep a steady amount of weight during training.  My boy adjusts well to changes in his feed, but I always mix for a week or so.  i also use beet pulp too.  Hope some one can help,
