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?

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.
