Thanks Steve: I just called our Purina dealer and he has never heard tell of "Strategy" I am from N.B. in Canada where we live so "far back in the woods we have to come out to hunt!" LOL Apparently that particular horse feed has never made its way across the border, or at least to our area anyway. Shall I continue feeding 3/4 pound of 14% sweet feed per 100 pounds of body weight( Blue Seal Charger) to Storm (about 8 cups twice daily,) or switch to whole oats or crushed oats plus a mineral supplement, as most other Fjord owners have advised me to do ? He weighs between 500 and 600 pounds and is 14 months old. He was just gelded a month ago and is in good shape. We feed good quality hay as there is no pasture available. If oats are ok how much should I feed? Crushed oats or whole oats? Thanks for your help, Sue (Desert Storms mom)
