Nutrition of Pony

Just checked out the website: www.doublejoy.com   Very interesting.  I put in
all the info on what I feed, worked up the ration she is getting and found
some interesting stuff.  The guidelines given showed me that I was feeding way
too much of just about everything!  Even for a late gestation mare!  I
reworked the ration as follows: 2/10 lb beet pulp  10 lbs Oat Hay  2 oz Mare
Plus vit/min  5 lbs Alfalfa cubes .  This ration said that it would meet all
her nutritional needs except Vit E, which I can supplement easily.  The Ca/P
ratio was 1.38:1    nearly perfect.  The beet pulp didn't really add anything,
BTW, but I kept it in because she wants to be fed something and I need
something to mix the Thyro-L  and vits into.  Susan G. what do you think about
this?  Very cool site, should check it out.
