I would think that there is a pelleted feed with the magnesium in it that you could feed and just cut back on the alfalfa. I have one horse that alfalfa makes crazy...I can't feed it to him but we have timothy here anyway so he rarely gets any alfalfa unless the timothy has some mixed into it and I can always tell when he's had too much because he changes. Anyway, there is also a bagged chopped hay you can buy that is grass. Its concentrated so you feed alot less. If your horses are antsy, check out the bagged pelleted feed called Cool Command if you can get it out there, see if it has enough magnesium for you. I also feed triple crown lite. Shipping is, for me, not an option as it makes everything too expensive. So I get what is available or produced regionally/locally etc....
I just spray the pellets with some water to soften them just to be safe (from those that tend to eat too fast). I feed the pelleted feed once a day with hay (less hay), and hay only once a day. If you free feed then adjust the amount I guess that you allow them to eat for a certain part of the day? I don't know because I don't free feed but the pelleted feeds are complete and you don't want them to get too fat! My guys would burst if I free fed! They look at food and gain weight! (well except for my one old guy who I feed extra to.) Suggestions anyway! Bia
