I don't think protein is much of an issue in a grown horse. I think 10 or 11% is about all they need, expecially ones that lead fairly inactive lives. From what I see in the charts, the Strategy would definately be better than the COB as far as carbs go. 25% vs 60% NSC. I think Duchess said that there were two different kinds of Strategy, one balanced for Alfalfa hay and the other balanced for Bermuda. So what they're doing is taking an average analysis of which ever kind of hay and adding the supplements accordingly. Your hay is probably closer to bermuda than to alfalfa so I'd go with that kind. Then just feed it at the recommended amount for the ideal weight of each horse.

Yes... I’d want the one formulated for feeding with grass hay. I do think that’s what Tiff feeds. I had to buy a bag when Mia was going to be here.
