Hi Felicia,

Your plan looks basically sound, but you'll want to have your hay or pasture tested to see if you might need to add more lysine to their diet. Plus, add to this the amount of lysine in the Ultium and Accel. Growing horses, their size, need approximately 30 grams of Lysine.

And, make sure they're getting plain, white salt, and all the good quality grass hay they want. You can safely add some alfalfa to this diet, as well.

If you need some assistance going over the exact numbers and amounts for each horse, I would recommend that we set up a time to visit over the phone. Here is information about my phone visits: http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/TalktoDrGetty.htm

All the best,
