Very interesting article. We are in Chihuahua, Mexico, and we breed and train warmblood jumpers. I feed them with a hay mixture that contains alfalfa, oats, triticale, wheat, rye and rye grass. We do not feed any grain and work them in a daily basis; they compete every month with eventual success and they are in very good condition.
We have not had any colic problems since 17 years ago that we use this feed; they have hay in their boxes almost day around and we feed no other vitamins or supplements.
The horse is forage eater and if this is of good quality, you will always have a sound horse and well nurtured.
