A couple of years ago I had an outstanding young buckskin horse that tied Creator of UTRSC Roping Association
Low NSC copra feed to avoid laminitis in racing arabsfrom Delyth Thomas - Arabian and Thoroughbred Racing Trainer, Wales, UK"I was first introduced to copra four years ago by a friend. Once I tried it I could not believe the difference - especially in one horse 'Roches Du Cayrou'. He had been extremely lean and was difficult to keep weight on. After running he would tuck up and we would have to leave him for four weeks before running him again. Since going on copra the difference is unbelievable. He now holds his condition and we could run him every week if we needed to. We also have a high strung horse called "Jazz City" (a hurdler), and copra has worked wonders in keeping him calmer and helping with his temperament. We also have three old horses - aged 25, 40 and 41 - who were near impossible to keep weight on. Since they have been on copra, they maintain their weight and have NEVER looked better! I find that copra is ideal for putting and keeping condition on any horse - old, young, mares in foal, ANYTHING - and it also helps keep them calm."

up and had to be put down. Up to that point I had never owned a tying up horse, and it was such a traumatic experience I decided to learn everything I could about horse nutrition. I learned that almost everything I had been taught at college, told or believed about corn, oats, and sweet feed was wrong. The learning curve led me to understand that nearly everything on the ingredient tag, when it comes to horses, is basically irrelevant. I believe the only important ingredient on tag should be the starch content. It is curious that the big feed companies will not list starch. This will lead everyone to Cool Stance. When someone notices and asks what I'm feeding, I answer and begin to explain why I feed it. Not surprisingly they yawn at the science, the metabolism, or how to keep their horses from acting hot and stupid on anything other than hay. On the other hand they do get excited when I start pointing out the shiny hair, tails dragging the ground, long manes, and good hoofs. I guess any motivation is OK as long as the outcome is correct."
