I'm curious as to what people feed their Friesian horses. Supplements? Thanks in advance!

I love this topic! I've looked into different feeds quite a bit. I am convinced that feeds containing any kind of grain, oats, bran, barley, corn, all of the traditional foods given to horses are actually the worst to give to them. Horses evolved on dry plains eating relatively poor grasses, constantly on the move to find the best pickings. And over those many eons they developed one of the most efficient digestive systems in the animal world to extract and use fat. I learned all about this from Dr. Beth Valentine, www.ruralheritage.com/vet_clinic/virtualvet.htm who is a veterinarian who has made a long study of muscle diseases, primarily EPSSM. It seems odd to focus on a high fat diet, but I think it's the best based on her studies of how horses' metabolisms work and the effect of diet on various diseases in the horse. Many of which can be controlled or won't occur in the first place with the right food. These are vegetable based fats, but NOT corn, corn is all out of balance with too much Omega 6. I used to give Nylis a diet of mixed grains thinking I was doing the best for him, but I think now that is not right. For the last 2 years he's gotten a high fat low carb (HFLC) food made by the Maryland Farmer's Co-op. He loves it. Then he gets 1 lb. of chopped alfalfa am & pm, (for the protein) pasture and grass hay. He's also on Platinum Performance CJ and Formula 4 Feet from Emerald Valley Equine, (that stuff is really amazing for a shiny coat). He's a relatively easy keeper, but I've found that he hasn't gained a lot of excess weight on the HFLC feed, has pretty good energy and he looks great. Another feed research link I like is the Feed XL site where you can put in all of the foods your horse is getting to see what imbalances there are or what you can cut back on. feedxl.com/Thank you!

Daatje currently eats the following:
AM and PM - 2 coffee cans shredded beet pulp, 1 lb Triple Crown Lo Starch, 1 cup Triple Crown 30%, 1/4 cup Omega Horse Shine, 2000 IU's natural Vitamin E (human grade)
All of the above gets soaked with as much water as it can handle and turns into a mash that Daatje loves.
In addition to the grain mash, she gets 4 flakes of hay AM, and PM.

I use Tribute feeds. My 4 year old mare gets their pelleted product and my 11 year old mare gets their senior product. Both of the girls gain weight on air so they only get a handful of grain twice a day.
I use a supplement called MicroVet that I love. It provides vitamins and minerals and the girls thrive on it. They have lovely coats and both grow strong hoof.

My girl gets all day good quality grazing and in summer she gets some chaff, a good quality feed balancer and some succulents ie. apples, broccoli etc. She does very well (too well in fact lol). If I bring her into the stable in the evening she gets ad lib hay also. Winter will see her with the above in larger quantities with a good all round high fibre compound feed and we shall see how she goes.

Had a nutritinist(spelling? ) out 2 weeks ago to analyse my 2's feed and condition score them. She has changed both their feeds to Fast Fibre for Timmie and veteran vitality for my old arab Storm. I am already seeing some changes in the friesian, his coat seems shinier, just waiting to see whether it sorts his dry skin out like she reckons it will. Fingers crossed Oh, I have also cut out all supplements as she said the feeds have everything they both need in them.

Beside her grazing all day, I am feeding her Purina's Safe Choice topped off with some rice bran, oil, hoof supplement (because her hooves were in very bad shape when I got her due to them not being trimmed), and some table salt.
