Suddenly putting horses out on pasture when they aren’t use to it could present problems...
But I will tell you, long time ago, when we brought in a new horse I did the feed change gradually, but now I don’t. They start getting horse chow immediately when I bring in a new one and I’ve never had a problem. I really believe that with complete feed, with all the roughage in it, it makes changing them over easier. Altho it’s not in it’s “natural” form it is more natural then a bucket of grain, and given that switching them too it is not a problem.
Thanks - that’s good to know.
Yeh - my statement is move it or get it towed. I just stopped being nice.
Bob would like to know if the feed is Purina, if you know off hand what the protein count is, and how much you feed to a 1000lb horse? Nothing like lots of questions first thing in the morning huh?
