    Some questions from a wanna-be-newbie

    Looks great and it seems like you've gotten plenty of advice.

    Is my recipe ok?

    well from what i can tell it looks like great stuff! A gal at my horse barn makes her own mix, she owns a friesian, and his coat and all around health is wonderful, she uses a flax seed oil with her mix! Just because something comes in a bag, doesn't mean it's all they can have! I give my girls...
