RE: [RC] [SPAM] [RC] Pounds of hay - Karen Standefer
So, Eleanor, if this is true, how do the French compete as such
a high level without supplementing? They are competing at world record setting
speeds, in desert areas (Dubai) with no supplementation and not having ANY metabolic
pulls.
Is there a link to the research? How many horses and under what
conditions was it done?

If we're talking about hay only (not cubes or pellets) and
if the hay does indeed have 0.75% chloride, at the lowest sweating rates if
they're never going longer than 4 hours between eating and are always eating at
least 8 pounds of hay for every hour riding, you're probably covered. If eating
less than that, or sweating heavier, you go into the negative zone and have to
play catch up.
There's been a lot of discussion about the best way to
feeding during a ride, but not much along the lines of actually checking to
back it up. It would be very interesting to see how different feeding practices
influence them metabolically.
