We have just been offered a new feed out here which is specifically for
endurance horses . The feed contains a live dried yeast which according
to the nutritionist aids digestion(also contains the fat etc) . I
specifically asked if I should be adding probiotics(after all the latest
posts) and was told it is not neccessary as long as I am giving good
quality grass, electrolytes when needed and this food - unless I have a
specific problem like having to put weight on or in a horse recovering
from stress , neglect etc. What do you all think???
Another question on grass before a ride. I was told that I should cut
down on grass prior to a ride - 8 hours before - as not too much bulk is
wanted in the stomache during the ride... Any comments????
