I've got beautiful clean orchard grass hay (I just bought yesterday, thrilled with the quality, which here in NC is hit or miss), with a ration balancer and Smartshine Ultra. I do not plan on feeding any grain at all. Is there anything else you'd recommend I do?I'd manage her as IR from the get go... just from that alone. My main recommendation is EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE. Diet management plus exercise tends to be the 1-2 punch in managing an IR horse and staving off/preventing laminitis and founder.
