I've gotten to the point where I feed only rice bran and alfalfa pellets. If I feel like someone is needing more calories, they get a couple pounds of Ultium to go with it. Works for me. Everyone is also getting free choice coastal.
I have a super easy keeper getting 15 lbs of coastal, 2 cups of rice bran, plus DePaulo supplements and the recommended amount of Purina SuperSport protein supplement.
Everyone gets Forco and DePaulo Excel.
Pretty happy ponies. This has been easier on my pocket book as well.

What do you mean you have no grass? Forage is REALLY IMPORTANT in a horses diet. You should be rounding out Protein, Fat, Folage and Fiber. Not just one.
Protein or fat?
