Went to an interesting feed clinic yesterday. These are the phone notes I took:
Don't feed grain 3 hrs before show, but allow hay and water until you ride
Provides energy with fiber in hay
Round bales are good, especially in winter
1% if body weight in hay if in diet 2%\3% if regular
Hives you feed omega 3 or 6?
Corn oil puts weight on, but veggie oil works better. Use oil and not Alpha cubes or whatever
Feet not holding up, bad coat, means bad immunity
Vitamin a d and e are important
Grain=extra energy
Feed a lot of forage
Feed a balanced diet and follow feeding directions
Poor diet results in immune probs
Energy=carbs
Other than that Duncan has been good lately. Working on some more advanced stuff. It is pretty fun. I think we may be moving soon, which is stressful for me. I really hope it doesn't delay progress even more, but the more places he sees the better it is. I think the indoor will be a lot better as well. For now we will stay where we are, and keep working.
