<< I breed/race Standardbreds one of my stallions(not my stud) is a bleeder.
He
is doing well - I am not looking for a treatment - he is on excellent
treaments. I am curious about the rumours I have heard at the track that
alfalfa hay causes horses to become bleeders or keeps them from improving
once they are bleeders. If any of you have insight rather then hearsay into
this matter I would really appreciate a response as all my babies love
their
dairy quality alfalfa hay.

Thank you very much!

I would not for a minute believe alfalfa causes bleeding in
racehorses.....hopefully Tom Ivers will enlighten you on his experience. If
not, e-mail him directly at tivers@aol.com
