Additional Feeding & Storage Suggestions:
- Cool Stance should be introduced gradually into the diet over a period of 10-14 days. It can be fed in a mixed feed with chaff and/or other grains and concentrates or on its own.
- Cool Stance can be wet-down to form a mash or it can be fed dry, provided that plenty of clean drinking water is also available (this enables the horse to regulate its intake of Cool Stance and water).
- Feeding wet: Cool Stance will absorb at least three times its own weight in water. For example place 2 lbs. Cool Stance in a bucket and add 2 quarts of water. Since Cool Stance contains only low levels of sugar and starch (NSC), you can leave it soaking for hours. Many horse owners prepare the evening feed after the morning feed.
- Store in a cool, dry place out of sunlight.
- Cool Stance must be fed in conjunction with additional roughage such as hay and/or pasture to ensure the horse obtains sufficient long fiber.
- If possible, split the horse’s hard feed between 2 or 4 feeds per day.
- Cool Stance has a shelf life of 24 months from the date written on the bottom of the bag.
