The What To Feed Debate

So I ended up switching Lily off of her two cups sweet feed and onto two cups of mushy Triple Crown Senior to get the lower NSC's. I've also taken her off of all but a few bites of grass that I let her snatch on our twice daily handwalks. There is a thead on COTH I started about what to feed Lily - many people were shocked that she was getting some grass and sweet feed and assumed I was ignorant, but trust me, I've read safergrass.org as much as the next person and I do consider myself educated on the topic. I actually consciously chose to give her sweet feed and three hours of grass per day. And I'm fairly certain she hasn't had any laminitic episodes since she's been here. I did the whole "natural" feeding program with all of my horses for a year and half and never had much success (however, that's a whole other topic I won't get into). But, I am trying the TC Senior and no grass thing because she's still been looking at her belly a bit - she's eating/pooping just fine though. So, we'll see what happens. On the plus side, I think her belly has filled out a little bit finally! It's getting into the low 40's now at night, so I rigged a too big blanket on her last night and will be ordering her one today.

Here's the link to the COTH thread:
