[RC] cutting costs and horses at trailers-Jill - Sheila_LarsenI too (just down the road from Sandy Rovane who did a GREAT clean and repair job on my blankets) just started blanketing because I don't want to waste feed keeping horses warm. I also just bought some hay pellets to supplement one of my horses along with equine adult, giving corn oil, and flax seed. Pellets are useful because there is no waste and one can usually get them. I can get grass, alfalfa or oat pellets. I was thinking of trying the stable mix from Elk Grove Milling (which Jill you should be able to get in the Bay Area) so when i run out of Equine Adult I will try that. Beet pult is also a great idea for stretching the feed. Pull shoes in the winter if possible. Jill you should call feed stores in the tracy area. I know there is a hay distributor there over by Lathrop. You might call and see if they will sell to you. Of course this isn't helpful if you don't have a place to store hay. You also might try the Solano area too. Sandy is it really true that people have been tieing horses to trailers, Geez in our area one would think that if there was a horse tied to a trailer we would probably wonder why so and so's horse is at our trailer.... and promptly return it LOLOL.
