Faster horses said:
Now here's my two cents...oats and 'sweet feed' cause horses to get hot and unruly because of a situation called "acid gut". I think you can find out more information on the Progressive Nutrition website.
I'm proof you can teach an old dog a new trick... :wink:
And we always grained our horses when we caught them and saddled them so that they didn't get that 'reward' when we got back to the barn.
Getting unsaddled was reward enough, we figured...unless it was a long ride.
Have a great day!
Good to see you back girl,I was worried you got yourself in trouble somewhere being a single woman now.
I guess you are right about the "acid gut theory" makes no differnce to me what it called and I reckon some horses are worse than others about the sweeet feed deal.
I probably feed everything I own too much,so take the blame for some of the 2 steppin and crow hoppin,he's doing better,believe I will lay off the sweet stuff for about 60 days,then see what happens when i start him on it again.................good luck
