"Farnam" Horse Weight Builder
Traditionally, horses needing more calories for increased stamina were fed more grain. However, excessive amounts of grain can lead to digestive upset, such as colic, diarrhea and even founder. Plus, grains are digested as simple sugars, which can make a horse “hot” or hyperactive.
Recently, researchers have discovered the benefits of adding fat to horses’ diets:
