I guess I highlite the wrong quoto, Sorry about that! Like said I just that a ball figure to fed a senior horse since we have a mare that is 22 yrs old her teeth are getting worn down but is doing fine so far on hay 24/7 and a little bit of grain. She is mare that will live at our place until she dies. She has earned her keep from us and it is our turn to take care of her. I didn't make any accusation and felt hurt that I was accused of saying that someone was looking for a handout when I didn't say that at all. This long cold winter is taking its toll on all us and our livestock. My our older horses live a good life with lots of love and special feed that can keep them going.

Hey... I have not tried cracked barley, but I do add shredded beet pulp to his senior feed, and Daily 72 and Red cell. He is doing alot better. Of course I've got my other drama in the barn with my mare KoKo and her stifle injury... ouch. Like Dawnb said, this winter may take it's toll on us all.
Anyone have an old horse that winters hard???
