For example, if you are going to feed alfalfa pellets, oats and rice bran what is the ratio that you feed? Mix it all together or keep separate?

(2 bags alfalfa pellets, 1 bag oats mix together and add 1lb rice bran)

If you mix your own feed and use rice bran in the formula, be sure to use "Stabilized" rice bran. There is a huge difference in value for a number of different reasons.

 Keep it separate and mix for each horse.  That way you know what they're getting, it's consistent, and you can change the proportions easily between horses or as their needs change with seasons and activity.

I keep everything separate. Then I can adjust according to each horses needs as mentioned above.
