Alfalfa/Coastal Hay:

 “We feed coastal in the mornings and alfalfa at night, in hanging feed bags on the fence. There’s not really a science to it—it’s how I’ve always fed and they’ve stayed healthy.”

Feed:

Safe Balance 14-7
by Livengood Feeds
1.5 scoops, twice per day

“It’s what we’ve always fed. My gray is 17, and I’ve got a sorrel that’s 7. They both do well on it even though they’ve got different needs. Livengood is a local feed company in Lockhart, Texas, and it’s family owned with dealers across the state.”
