Hi all,
In a couple of endurance books and books on feeding, I've seen =
referrals to 'Milk pellets'. However, I can't seem to find it anywhere =
in South Africa. From the book 'Feeding your horse and pony', I could =
surmise that it is basically the same as powdered milk. Is this correct, =
i.e. can I mix powdered milk with my horse's normal food?
I Lew Hollander's book 'Endurance Riding from beginning to Winning =
(what a superb book), he refers to a high-fat diet with one of the main =
ingredients Ho-Milc 7-60. Is this also the same?
Sorry if my questions seems a little silly, but not one of the =
horse-feed manufacturers could help me.
