Welcome to my forum.

Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.

Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.

Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.

I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.

And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.

All the best,

Re: older finicky mare

Hi Sharon,

Of course -- a good senior feed that is low in starch is made by Triple Crown. ADM Alliance Senior Glo is also excellent. Another one that recently came out is Dynasty Secure by Kent Feeds.

Not sure which horse we discussed -- looking at my record, we talked about three horses back on October of 2005. So it has been a while and I'm sorry that you've gone through so much with your gal.

Looking forward to helping you further,

Dr. Getty
