You fuktards should not get too close to each other as you IQ goes lower rather than higher.

Think Energy When Feeding the Racehorse
Fiber
Fiber is an energy source that is often overlooked in horse nutrition. Horses have a highly developed hindgut that houses billions of bacteria and protozoa capable of fermenting large quantities of fiber. The end products of fiber fermentation can be used as energy sources throughout the day because fermentation continues long after a meal has been eaten.
Since proper gut function is essential to the health and well-being of the horse, fiber-rich forage should be considered the foundation of a racehorse’s feeding program. Racehorses should be fed 15-20 lb (7-9 kg) per day of
clean grass hay such as timothy or oaten hay. Smaller quantities of alfalfa hay (2-4 lb or 0.9 to 1.8 kg per day) may also be offered. This level of hay intake will meet the racehorse’s maintenance DE requirement and help protect against gastric ulcers and colic.
(in part)
I won't school you about (oaten hay) the first harvest of a new hay field also contains green oats. Same as this mostly only for race horses rather than dairy cows.

Oh dear me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people are ENTIRELY UNAWARE of just how many race horse breeders there are in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And some people are unaware that a 2 year old thoroughbred- the most common breed around- DOES NOT HAVE fully formed bones at that age.........they get heavier and stronger as they age more..........
This is why so many race horses get put out to pasture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those that are too slow to win races and not needed for breeding programs are either sold off as saddle horses to teen girls.......or SOLD FOR FOOD to Europeans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A fact you should consider is that race horses are NEVER selected for their personality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They kick and bite and make mayhem with handlers because HUNDREDS of generations of breeding has been done ONLY for selecting speed!!!!!!!!!!!
Consider the case of A VERY VALUABLE MARE - and this is a true story- the mare had been a REALLY FAST- won a LOT of races so its valuable as breeding stock once its race days are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the owner paid out a hundred grand in stud fee and assorted costs to get the mare with foal to a really fast stallion.........
But oh dear........we get winter in Canada .........and a careless horse can slip and slide on ice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah- they get into trouble on ice- juist like you in your car on an icy corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this mare- carrying this champion foal now has a broken leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think of the money LOST if it is simply shot and sent to Alpo dog food company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So slings are arranged in a stall and the mare spends the next six months hanging there- with its feet not quite touching the ground........LOADED UP with drugs and such!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hanging in a sling like that interferes with a horse breathing to some degree........so there is danger of lung diseases- hwence the drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course a broken leg is PAINFUL- hence the need for more drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And at lot of thoroughbreds are slightly crazed at the best of times and so some tranquilizers are required.......must not let the critter thrash around too much- it might sever an artery on the broken bones and bleed to death before giving birth to the VALUABLE FOAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course once the foal was born- Mom could be shot..........and a chain saw is useful in removing the drug tainted remains from the barn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thorough breds- even ones that are pets get feda LOT of drugs- more than people realize!!!!!!!!!!!
The Novicular bone in their feet is highly susceptible to being cracked and broken when ridden over rough ground- or when show jumping- rather like shin splints that human athletes suffer from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Humans have the advantage over a horse- ITS THEIR LEGS that hurt so they STOP RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horses do not have that advantage of control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And some people do not mind drugging the horse to keep it moving for a while longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horse racing is an ugly industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the number and range of drugs that can be fed to a horse being used for riding or for breeding is really limited only the conscience of a Vet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
