Feeding the Endurance horse

["Wilkins" <Royal@Hillsboro.net>]

  I have been reading several articles on ridecamp

and have come to the conclusion that it is best

not to feed alfalfa or ricebran. I was reading the

book "GO THE DISTANCE" by Nancy Loving,DVM

and read you could feed as much as 2 cups of

vegetable oil in place  of some of the grain.

According to your article veg. oil has 8.98

mcals/kg of engeryor 340%compared to ricebran

plus  the fat content. What is your   opinion of

feeding veg. oil  and have you had input from

others who feed it or have fed it?

Thanks
