Just curious about the background music. It is quite distracting. The information is great,thank you for sharing.

Awesome video it's great to get more info around what you need to supply for the horse.

Grass hay (meaning mostly timothy) is a perfectly acceptable protein source for mature non-lactating horses provided it was harvested at the right stage; the head should be about one-third out of the boot. Over mature hay of any type is a poor protein source.

Best calorie adder is hay pellets (not alfalfa) very readily available because it is already "chewed"

One cannot talk about nutrition without addressing Genetic modification and round up factor these days

completely off topic but the horse at 55 seconds... i dont think i have ever seen that color.

Is it GMO Soy, theres no way to know, so Soy can't be good if it's not Organically grown.

"Back in the day," if a horse needed more protein we'd often add a little Calf Manna to the grain. You might look into this, especially if you have a young/growing horse or a late term/lactating mare.

[@nicolea8288]

Alfalfa is GMO and round up very poisonous today, vry hard to find organic
