Experience
Experience:
Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.
Question I purchased a throughbred/QH in November and she is very hyper. I need to know what not to feed her and the best diet for her. She is a show/trail horse. Mainly in a stall.
Answer hi--- a nervous horse needs to be on a very plain diet, such as a basic low protien sweet feed ,say around 10%--11% . not many oats as they tend to produce lots of protien. a basic hay diet, no alfalpha hay too rich and plenty of tuen outs to mkeep them moving around. thanks ED HESS
