It's the age-old question; which is more important? The only sensible answer is both! I might be a geneticist by training but here at FeedXL we think that feeding plays a vital role in the health, well-being and performance of your horses.

For this example we're using a 445kg Arabian gelding in training for endurance riding. He is an easy keeper, is in condition score 5, and we want to maintain that weight while he's in heavy work. All the calculations for his requirements and how well the diet meets his requirements have been done with FeedXL. We've added the costs to it to show how several diets can all meet his requirements, but how you can still save money.

This is a phase of testing that software developers use just prior to release to make sure that any remaining "show stopper" bugs are ironed out.

Anyone who has a horse with Cushing's will know that one wrong step with an unsuitable feed can mean more painful laminitis for your horse. There only a handful of feeds actually suitable for a Cushing's horse, but company literature and marketing make the task of finding appropriate feeds a daunting and difficult task.

The FeedXL team have been working very hard getting FeedXL ready to release to the wild. We have a few major items to complete before we can open up access to all but the core of FeedXL is mostly complete and is working like a charm.

We are about to enter a period of Alpha testing the software with a small group of horse owners. The aim is to identify major bugs before we unleash FeedXL on the world and work further on the incomplete bits. Once we complete all of the major components of the software we will be moving to a Beta test which will involve a larger group of testers. During this phase we will be attempting to iron out any "show-stopper" bugs. If you're interested in participating in our Beta test, fill in a request to be kept informed; we'll be selecting people at random from this list so we have enough people to ensure a thorough workout of the software.
