There are a few 16% crude protein feeds--Carnation Superhorse is one. But
crude protein does not reflect digestible protein. They're all low.

of all the horses feed at a ride and testing it to see? Just wondering

yes, that could be done, especially if it's a commercial feed with good
quality control. Probably expensive, though.
