Great article. There’s a lot more to it when specializing a feed program for ponies, metabolic, IR, Cushings, founder and laminitis horses and breeds prone to sensitivities of too much sugar and starch.Educate yourself if you have a horse in one of those categories. Get your hay tested, soak it one hour in cold water if you do not have it tested yet to pull sugar out and drain properly. Timothy has been a great choice for my barn. Hay tests under the recommendation of stay u see 10% for NSC..nonstructural carbohydrates…if you do not understand ask your vet to look at hay analysis. Your horse or long eat what they are given by you..take the extra time to read and look into proper information..it will make the difference in the quality and quantity of years you have each other!

Well, that makes sense but there is definitely lower quality hay with fewer nutrients.
