I have an appaloosa who becomes very hot on 3 way grain mix but does
very well on LMF. I am sold on it for my horse. She is a relatively easy
keeper until about June of her race season then I have to pour it to her to
keep her weight on and her energy level up. Marilyn (from the beautiful
mountains of Idaho, home of the Appaloosa).

Hi Fuchsia - I've been using LMF - Endurance Formula for a couple years
now. I only feed it to the horses that are working/competing.
It doesn't make my horses any hotter than theay are normally as long as
we keep a regular work schedule. They got much hotter when I used
grain and corn oil. I feed about 8 lbs/day . Plus free choice grass hay
and/or pasture. It's a 7% fat formula, so it does help keep the weight on,
but I still have trouble with weight. I think I'm going to start supplementing
with rice bran (20% fat) as well.
