Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	Please do the allergy testing! Even if you don't decide to do the treatment you can still see if she's allergic to any feedstuffs. The only way around them is to avoid. My gelding is allergic to oats and that eliminates a lot of feeds.

Expert Posts: 1218 Location: South MS	My mare is getting purina Impact textured 12% It's about a $15 bag of feed. Then she get a flake of alfalfa. She comes in about 2 hours am and pm to eat. Once the grass drops off she will get about 10# of grass hay per day as well. I have a gelding who keeps a cough. He gets MSM and red cell and that has really helped. Not sure if a pregnant mare can have it but worth checking on.

LOVE IT I'm loving the results I'm seeing... we don't want to deplete our grass so we are still feeding round bales just for security. They are looking good though!

Veteran Posts: 155 Location: Riding or working in Texas	THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT TO FFED WITHOUT ANY SUPPLEMENTS. I DONT WANT TO GIVE HER ANYTHING THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANCY. SHE DOES NOT GET THE PASTURE BECAUSE SHE HAS ALLERGIES BUT GETS PLENTY OF ALFALFA! SHE LOOKS GREAT AND WANTED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!
