to feed or not to feed that is the question

["robert and carla lawson" <robandcarla@hotmail.com>]

okay here is my pennys worth. I am to cheap to throw in that other penny.
When I bought my underwieght (God rest her goofy soul) she was on Omileene 
200 about 11 pounds a day. I also added about 2 cups of condensed alfalfa to 
it. She was on pasture, mixed grass clover, fescue, what not, etc.I also 
added some exercise about 1 hour 3x per week. SHE BLOSSOMED!!!! she went 
from scraggy scrawny to a swan in about 3 months. nice shiny coat and man 
the energy. Had awesome endurance. actually was a pain in the (_1_) for 
quite some time. I switched her to crimped oats and cracked corn and reduced 
the alfalfa since her work reduced as well. I noticed that it didn't take as 
long to get her focused onto business. She began to get down to business 
sooner. I noted that the boogers reduced as well. I was still getting great 
results.I never got to find out if I could increase work =.o( I realize that 
feed changes can harm and that you attempt to change feed gradually. I will 
no longer feed a "HOT" high protein to a lite working horse. proteins can do 
more harm than good.  If you are getting tired check the calories. You can 
add the calories with out adding just carbs and proteins. I.E VEGGIES!!! any 
sun grown food sources. Tomatoes,Carrots,
lettuce, green peppers, okay we can't instill them to our horses can we? 
DOCTORS this is your call!
Why am I making the comparrison of Human and Horses?
Guess who has a serious sugar addiction? Yep me! So I am seeing a 
nutritionist. who is helping me appreciate my veggies all over again. I was 
dependent on sugar to get me through the day. This has been very educating!!
get Back to VEGGIES FOLKS!
