I am in complete agreement with Walter, it is as simple as 'the proof is in the pudding'; if your horses are looking good and playing well then what you are doing is right. I live in Spain and pretty much everything I do with…"

Walter Pike replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"Hi @adam I'm not advocating a TMR diet. But I wouldn't take that much notice of what your friends say anything different will always attract the criticism of the traditional.
There is a lot of lierature on feeding horses, the modern…"

Walter Pike replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"Adam, what you are doing would seem to defeat the point of TMR.bwouldnt you think?"
Adam Khan replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"So a perfect balance need to be figured out. The TMR should not be the main diet. I'm getting a lot of criticism from my peers who've had more experience of keeping polo ponies. What im doing now is giving them 15 kg hay green. A kg of…"
Walter Pike replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"Isn't the answer really whether with the natural food are they getting enough good quality forage which should always be the mainstay of their diet. The TMR should be giving them that.
I am sure the TMR is natural."
Adam Khan replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"Interesting well its been slightly over a month since i've tried the feed. I like the effect its taken on my horses. It does bother me as I am still a bit confused whether i should go with this or have a more natural diet. Though tmr folks…"
Rhoda Ochoa replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"I think if I were somewhere that getting consistently good quality hay were a problem (happening a lot more with the drought here in the US), I'd definitely be up for this. Here in the US, Purina just came out with Hydration Hay, which…"
Walter Pike replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"@lucy the simple answer is yes they would. If horses are thin they can only draw on the feed they are currently 'burning' they need reserves to perform. Polo is tough work so they need more feed than the average sport horse and as much…"
Lucy Montgomerie replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"I completely agree with you, Walter, re the good quality (and not so good quality if absolutely neccessary) forage being the most important element of a horse's diet. I am always surprised (although I am not very knowledgeable about polo) that…"
Walter Pike replied to Adam Khan's discussion Query about TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) feeds"Adam I have not tried TMR feeds but as I understand it they are a complete feed consisting mostly of forage which are fed on an always available basis.
In theory they should be fantastic especially if you can't find good quality hay and…"

Dr Kathrine B Davis said… Hi Adam, Looks like the team like the look of that alfalfa. Who is your feed supplier? Are they reliable or is it cut from your own fields.
As to your previous question about AI, yes we have done a lot. We have also got two 18 month old colts who are embryo transfers. The mare was a fantastic performance horse we did not want to take out of work so we flushed 3 embryos from her and transplanted them into 3 recipient mares. So we had 3 foals out of the same mare/stallion combination in one year. Very nice they look too.
Good luck with your program, by the way, it is a lot trickier than cows but if you have experience and the correct instruments and procedures you can have excellent results.
