>>>> I was thinking the same thing, maybe it would helpfull to tell people that they normally do well on grass hay, don't normally need grain, and might have to be regulated on pasture, ie. might not be able to graze 24 hours a day without becoming overweight. Something like that.
I usually start such a conversation by making sure that people know that any statements I make will be IN GENERAL. I say that, as with any breed, there are exceptions to the rule (and I often give specific examples - maybe mentioning Flekka as one who isn't such an easy-keeper) but that there are some generalities that on the whole, separate these horses from others. After all, if there weren't SOME general differences, they'd be just like TWH or QH's, right? :) Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
