I feed my Thoroughbreds flaked barley, barley is needs to have had some form of cooking/crushing for the horse to digest it.

Agree with EmmaS, Barley is very tough to digest so needs to be broken up or cooked in order to make it beneficial to horses.

I give mine some not alot just a bit, but somebody said to me they dont like giving it to theirs because its bad for their joints? I dont know if this is true or not? I give them micronized barley but i dont cook it or anything is this wrong? They dont seem to have much wrong with there digestion, which is something they like to prove to me when there in there stables over night and make it look like they been locked up 24 hours a day 7 days a week! lol
