Lindros, Speak to me about Rice Bran

Our feed mill has just started carrying this in pellet form. Have a TB boy that needs a plumping. Might this help?

haemju, it works really well for my TB gelding. He's a bit of a hard keeper. He looks great now. Added benefit: his coat is just beautiful! I personally don't like the rice bran oil (I have tried it). In my experience the 'brown stuff' always sticks to the container - no matter how hard you try to shake it up (thats what they tell you to do). Anyway, I LOVE the pelleted rice bran - highly recommend it!!

It works very nicely. Follow the directions. This also comes in an oil form as well as a bran (hence it's name).
Sometimes the simplest thing can make all the difference.

Talk to MarliFarm...I think she had her mares on it and they got a bit "frisky" shall we say :wink:

Ricebran wouldn't make a horse 'high' - it's just fat. Well, Equi Jewel has 12 % protein and lots of fiber too.
