When Ultium came out, I believe in 2004, it was described as a high fat feed. If I recall, it was over 12% fat. Recently, I thought it was in the best interest of our horses to reduce the amount of fat we feed at competition. In fact, I have heard that it is best to stop feeding oil/fat a few days before a ride. For those who use Ultium, do you consider the fat content in Ultium a problem for feeding at rides? Just curious as this is one of the highest fat concentrates/grain rations on the market that I know about. If not, why is it recommended to reduce fat/oil intake during competition and right before competition. Of course, I am assuming that Ultium still has 12% + fat content. Perhaps the formulation has changed?
