I agree, but eveything I was ever taught regarding horses says that alfalfa should be cut out of the diet when a horse is stall bound. Perhaps he has trouble keeping weight on without it, who knows?
I'm surprised they're not loading him up on a filler feed with beet pulp in it. Our thoroughbred mare had trouble keeping weight and we had to feed her beet pulp on a regular basis (pain in the ass too since it has to be soaked the right way.)
Either way, my thoughts and prayers are with Barbaro and I want nothing more than to see this horse recover and live a normal life.
