is this a good horse science test idea? or other ideas?? :D ?

It's a poor idea for several reasons.

1. You would need a means of getting quantifiable results. Numbers you could trust and could repeat. "How well she is going" is not numbers. Seconds for the quarter mile is more like it.

2. You would need to be able to control all the other variables (temperature, wind speed, phase of the moon, etc.) to make sure they weren't affecting what happened.

3. You're assuming that each feed change has a one-day turnaround. What if it had no effect until two days later? How would you know?

4. Changing the feed might not be good for your horse.

You're into the area that scientists call "design of experiments" and it is very complicated. Believe me, it's hard enough just to record the boiling temperature of water as a function of barometric pressure over the course of a week. Adding a horse to the experiment does not make it easier. (More fun, because you get to work with your horse, but not easier, scientifically.)

I don't think it's a good idea because there are far too many variables that go into why a horse acts a certain way from day to day. It's also not a good idea to switch feed and routines suddenly with horses.

I think you would be better off to do something with easily measurable results, like rates of pulse and respiration after different activities or at different times of day.

Yes, sounds like and interesting idea! Instead of just adding a cup of oats one day, spread out giving her oats over a week-long period (eventually working up to a cup). This will help give a more accurate result of how the food affects her and will keep her digestive system happy.

You could also try alfalfa or rice bran.

Hope this helps!

its a great idea but it would take a good month or so for u to report results. switiching feed too quickly, as u know, can cause major stomach upset, including colic. if u increase sugar (by way of corn or oats) it takes 10 days to 4 weeks to register a change in ur horses behavior. other changes to fat and protein take longer to notice. good that u asked!!!!

ps. i know sugar can def. affect their behavior and make them uncontronatbly hot! when i moved to anew barn they fed sweet feed.wheni had been feeding beet pulp. within one month the horse was a rolling eyed, stall weaving explosion. 10 days after switching him back to low sugar,beet pulp mix he returned to his regular self.

i've got self belief you need to perform a little factor approximately human conduct. seem around on the comprehensive substitute on your classes. individually i like stuff approximately astonishing genders and stuff. Like come across out the conventional of mile cases for boy's and ladies persons. Or how long women stoy interior the bath room in assessment to boys. stuff like that, the end result will probable be exciting.
