[RC] Oats - k s swigartYou asked: Do you feed whole oats, rolled, ?? I have fed crimped, steam rolled, and hulless oats...and whatever many feed manufacturers use in their formulations.? Oh yeah, and I have let my horses graze on wild oats (which grow plentifully on the Southern California hillsides) and have been known to feed oat hay--both the hay and the wild growing grass have seed heads on them and my horses have eaten the hay and the grass during this stage of its development. What brand? Eqvalana (?sp?)?makes the hulless ones (which I think have had the bran removed so they many not have any gamma-oryzanol in them for all I know). The crimped and steam rolled oats are usually Ace Hi (or Kelley, which is the same company) The 4-way (corn, oats, barley, molasses) is usually either Kruse or Ace Hi I used to use Ace Hi performance feed (until they stopped making it); I have used Nutrena XTN (which also contains oats) but Nutrena feed dealers aren't close enough for me to use it regularly, Purina Omalene 200 (which also contains oats); and Kruse's new Equine Advantage Elite (which also contains oats). I don't feed Triple Crown, not because of the Yucca thing, but because it is ridiculously expensive. kat =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
