If he is loco he needs more work, more training or both. If he is
loosing weight he need more calories be it grain or oil. I've had no
luck with oil myself. Figured that I'd have to feed gallons to get some
weight on Hal.

Opinions,please.My Field Trial horse,Chico,a Missouri Fox-Trotter, does most of his work between Sept. and May,and is a hard keeper. He is hard-headed as
well,and moocho grain makes him plenty loco. Nonetheless,I must add to his current ration,and so I'm asking you experts' advice;but more grain is out.He
gets,currently:a grain which is 10%protein/6% fat,premium brand-name,which includes all the enzymes,bells&whistles,biotin,some beet pulp,etc,etc.,in the amount of
four quarts(yes,liquid measure)per 24 hrs,in two feedings.He has free-choice hay,this year an excellent orchard grass cut.Whatever I add to this must be simple to
handle.If corn oil is added,gradually,about how much will I eventually add? And,is this corn oil my best option? Best wishes,Ray O.
