How much do you feed of alfalfa cubes ? My horses get grass hay 24/7 .. So I'm wondering how much people feed when just supplementing with grass hay ? Do you feed a lot of grain with this diet ? Thanks !

Location: HOME OF THE DILLON BEAVERS!!!!!!!		i have 1 horse that cannot have any hay or he cannot breathe so he gets 10 lbs of the 3/16 size pellets in the morning and at night with a splash of veg. oil on them . He is 15 this year and has never been in better shape and acts like a colt again because of his breathing.  he gets no hay but can be on pasture but hasn't been turned out yet.

Location: Texas		I am just in the process of switching my feeding program to Hay-Rite mini cubes. My older horse (1100#, low activity) gets about 9 # a day, split into 2 feedings. He is not eating any coastal, even though it is offered 24/7. I am slowly reducing his 12/8 pelleted feed/rolled oat mixture, so he still eats 2# of that at each feeding, but remarkably, he has been not very hungry this week. Sometimes he doesn't eat all of his grain & there are always a few leftover cubes when I feed. I have been replacing his grain mix with about 6 oz. of Renew Gold 2x/day. He is an easy keeper, so I am being careful. He has always been a good eater, so I am a little confused, but I think he is eating slower & staying fuller.
