[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1228319, member: 6897"] 90% of the horses in this country don't need anything but grazing and/or hay and the hay doesn't have to be nearly as good as most of us think it has to be. But being animal lovers most of us feed or overfeed literally "loving them to death". We load them up with starches, and thousands of calories and all they do is eat it all then go lay down under a tree and doze all day. A horse being really worked would need more feed and more calories but that would be the other 10%. I notice several are recommending the low starch horse feeds. All they do is remove the corn from the ration. Cheap horse feeds have always been "low starch" because they have no corn in them. One of you feeds low starch horse feed then add corn to it. That doesn't add up. If you're going to supplement corn get away from the expensive low starch ration and just feed them a good textured ration. Do this and you probably won't even have to add the extra corn. Feed your horses according to body condition and level of activity. [/QUOTE]
