Hi Corine- My gelding is now 3, and he has been on oats since he was a baby. I do give him a product called ProAdvantage grass mix as a supplement, for...
Hi Theresa, Thanks you so much! I do believe he can have a "normal" life with Hypp. Can you give me more information on the Pro Advantage (internet site?) so I...
Hi, One thing we do for our big guy is to soak his hay in water for about an hour to leach out the potassium. You can find more info about doing this at: ...
Thanks Robin! This is great! I'll start today to be on the safe side! CorineM ... Van: hyppbreeding@yahoogroups.com [mailto:hyppbreeding@yahoogroups.com] ...
Hi, Just make sure to only soak what he will eat in one feeding. And make sure to not let him get into any old soaked hay. As it can mold after awhile. Our...

oats are a very safe feed for horses. Corn cant be fed in the same amounts. Horse can founder more easy on corn. Corn is OK just cant feed near as much....
That is the only reason? Just asking because my feed guy asked. he has a COB mix that is 0.47% Potassium. Thanks, CorineM ... Van: hyppbreeding@yahoogroups.com...
Thats a big reason! You have to look at the minerals and everything for young growing horses. Some corn is OK but oats are better for the bulk of the grain...
