I've had limited luck on ridecamp with this so am hoping to get a few off of here: I would like to hear from folks that feed straight plain grain, not the...
I think one reason you might be getting limited replies is your question is very broad. What are you trying to find out? If you gave a bit more information...
Hi, All, I've been on the list for awhile, but haven't posted until this week. I've been considering doing a 100 miler for quite some time, but only recently ...
Well, dang it sounds broad because it IS broad. :oP Just was curious as to those that don't feed any "fancy" stuff. I know that Don ?? with the mustang...
However, I don't do monthly 50s, have done 4 (got completions on 2) on my current "endurance horse", Sonny, and he just completed Tevis in fine form. Kathy...
Well, the first reply I sent didn't get posted yet, so I'll repeat it. I feed crimped oats, not too much, as part of our horses' diets, and no pelleted feeds. ...

COB (corn, oats, barley) are what some people are feeding lately. Personally, I was feeding crimped oats but recently changed over to barley. I also add a...

I posted this on our NAYRC list, so figured I might as well share it here, since it involved so much typing <grin> ****** After heading out to ride Tevis the...
Great story, Jonni. It sure was a long day! I did try to remember to sincerely thank every volunteer I came in contact with. I hope that many more than 20...

I've read what people feed their horses on this list & the AERC members list. Frankly, I don't know how your horses do well with some of the feeding regimes...
... Hi April, Why wait until next year? Is your horse doing well in 50's now? You have the Big South Fork coming up in your area soon, and then the Alabama...
It does seem rather amazing, I think alot of these horse do well "in spite" of us rather then because of us. LOL My guy used to get up to 3lbs Ultium a day....
Hi, Paul, Good question. There are two reasons I have for waiting till next year. First is that I don't compete on Saturdays due to religious convictions. BSF ...
Mine are on 06/40 alfalfa Bermuda pellets @ approximately 17 lbs per horse per day. That's it. Three of the six are 6+ body score, one is pushing a 7 and the...

By processed grain I mean a formulated sweet feed with pellets, oats and cracked corn. I would think a pound of oats would be a lot of oats. It doesn't weigh...
I have four extremely easy keepers and feed NO grains at all. They get a little beet pulp (live in the desert and it helps push the sand through and combat...
No, a pound of oats is only about a pint. Next time you're at the feed store compare a 50 pound bag of processed grain with a 50 pound bag of crimped oats,...
