I have researched this. I even had an equine nutritionist come out and do a hay analysis. And hay in utah and nevada is lacking in proper nutrients.

Hi gecko gal...I think if you research this, you will find it untrue. A quality variety of Hay is the best feed for horses. Check out the links I sent from the American Research Council. And the analysis page I sent to the site. Horses are not well suited to man made grain diets.
My analogy was the reference to "only eating" one thing. Meaning: You cannot have a balanced diet by only eating meat. Nor can a horse have a balanced diet by "only eating" hay.
