Hello Bruce,
Thanks for the link to this very interesting article. When I started 
riding endurance in 1988 the cowboys around here said "feed'um 4-5 
pounds of rolled corn with 15 pounds of alfalfa". According to this 
article those cowboys knew how to feed a hard working horse but I 
quit feeding corn after several years because of the many articles 
about it not being very good for endurance horses. What is your 
opinion on feeding rolled corn to endurance horses? Chime in the rest 
of you "feed freaks". :-)
