Hello everyone,
Has anyone had their horses back off their feed after a 50 miler even
though their horse is having an excellent attitude after the rides? My
mare after two fifties a month apart has not been finishing her rations of
grain. Her attitude has been great and she has been coming out of the
rides wanting to go out again the next morning ,I give her 4 to 5 days off
after the rides and she is out in pasture with plenty of hay. It's been a
week and a couple days since her last ride and she still isn't completely
cleaning up her feed. Does anyone have any suggestions or have they
experienced this with any of their horses?
Thanks,
Cindy & Sea Breeze
