Do not feed Blue Ribbon High Efficiency on a free choice basis.  Feed at regular times, with two or more equal feedings per day.  Make all feed changes gradually, over a 7 – 10 day period.  Increases in feeding rate should not exceed 1 pound per day for an individual horse.  Delay feeding a horse that has just been exercised or is exhibiting pain, fever or diarrhea. Blue Ribbon High Efficiency weighs approximately 1.6 pounds per dry US quart.  Feed hay and/or equivalent pasture at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight daily.  Provide a free-choice horse mineral such as Seminole Grass Balancer 16:8 Mineral or Alfa Balancer 12:12 Mineral on continuous basis.  Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
