and it carries very little body fat. This is the kind of
body condition that gives a horse a lot of strength
and stamina.
A good example of this is a football lineman that
has large bulky muscles, but also carries a lot of
body fat for weight the he needs for his job. But he
does not run long distances, so lean stamina is not
as important. A running back, on the other hand,
needs great strength and the ability to run long
distances at a high rate of speed. They carry very
little fat, but have bulky muscles.
Going back to the question of do you need a diet
with high fat to reduce the amount of total feed a
horse needs to meet nutritional requirements with
less feed? The answer is no. If you have a feeding
program that will increase the digestibility of the
grass and/or hay so they get more from each lb.
they consume. This also allows them to get more
protein and minerals from the roughage that they
have available and they eat less total feed.
Here is a list of feedback comments from horse
owners that feed Total Equine:
1. Eat less hay.
2. Muscle mass increases.
3. Body fat decreases.
4. Stay in athletic condition even when stalled for
long periods of time.
5. Have increased cool energy.
Don’t the comments sound like what I have just
described?
