Re: Horse too fast!!

Dear Susan & Tom:
        We are beginners at feeding for endurance.  Where do we go for a
synopsis of the current feeding theories and the research on which they are
based?  Our historical plan has been free choice alfalfa/grass hay or
pasture with whole corn added according to work level and body condition.
What are your recommendations for adjustments?  I am sympathetic to the idea
of feeding energy dense fat, I've been told that sled dogs have a 40% fat
diet, but I am also attracted by the idea of the quick readily usable energy
from starches.
