Whats the difference between crushed oats and rolled oats energy/feed wise??
Also do people soak their oats or just feed them as they are?

crushed oats are better for the horse ande you wouldnt feed as much. whole oats have a tendency to go straight through without doing anything also becuase they still have their points they can get stuck in the gullet etc etc. You are always better off feeding crushed rather than whole oats.
I would always soak feed no matter what it is.

I feed topspec turbo - which is the equivalent to micronised oats and do not look disimilar to fat porridge oats.
Whole, bruise and rolled oat all seemed to go straight through mine, but did mean our crows did the poo picking, so I will feed them over summer!

Have bought him crushed oats which do look more crushed than rolled ones so shall see. Top Spec has made him really flat (i know everyone says it can't be that but honestly since having it he's lost his bounce!) so have gone off that and onto oats to see how we go. I am soaking them but he's only having a v small amount to start with!!
