Dear Connie, I also have used the LMF feeds (The endurance one) I
called the dealer and talked at great lengths, my horse F.T (you know
him) DID NOT DO WELL ON LMF. It made him hot and he had trouble keeping
his weight. He had me feeding 15 pounds a day to keep the weight on
him. When all said and done, horse looked like something from the
animal shelter and hot. We now feed him oats, natural glo and vits. and
he is fat as ever. Also we were able to move him up in distance and he
has maintained his weight with out getting hot and out of hand. Some
horses do not do well on the LMF (IT CONTAINS ANIMAL FATS). Good
luck!!!
