Re: [RC] Feed - Chris Paus

LOL, I loff reading all these posts about fattening up your horse. I have the exact opposite problem. My horses get fat on air! I'm constantly trying to slim them down!  chris

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. Read more at the website:

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