[QUOTE="Alan, post: 155706, member: 378"] Alfalfa can be a pretty high octane feed, some horse handle it fine some get a bit nutty. IMO your colt well do fine on good quaity grass and a grain geared to babies, switch the grain to your 14% at 14 or 15 months. It's too easy to screw a baby up during the first 2 years by making the feeding too complex. If I'm going to ask one of my youngster to perform I'll give them a grass alfalfa mix and kick up their grain a little. But if they're just standing a growing they get free choice quality hay and good grain (you know in a fancy bag ;-) :D ). Again you can really ruin a horse by trying to force growth. Keep them wormed, give them a mineral block and quaility feed and let mother nature do the rest. Alan [/QUOTE]
