The Soaked Oat Diet

I know that there was a big discussion about this not too long ago, but I was just wondering who on here feeds it and what supplements you feed along side it.

I feed it to my youngster and my broodmare. Broodmare is also on Suregrow, the youngster is on a gen vit/min supplement and limestone powder.

I'm thinking of going back to it when I have finished what is in the feedroom now!
I cheat though and use farm rolled oats so they don't get soaked (I always used to forget to either soak them or to drain them, this cuts out all the hassle of that!)
I fed it with Alfalfa Oil to help the calcium levels, Bailey's Stud Balancer and sugar beet. All of the horses looked very well on it. Only trouble is foals aren't supposed to have sugar beet until they're nearly 8 months old so I'm a bit wary of feeding the broodmares with it because of the foals dipping in; would be interested on thoughts on that.
