Horse FP

[Burton Choinski]

On the grain/hay energy, from
http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/animals/g1350.htm
## Basics of Feeding Horses: What to Feed and Why

Horse           Digestive Energy    %grain    %hay
Maintenance            0.8             0      100
Intense work           1.2            65       35

0.8 = 0g + 100h, 0.8 = 100h, ergo h = 0.008
1.2 = 65g + 35h, 1.2 = 65g + .28, 0.92 = 65g, ergo g=0.01415

g/h = 1.77

True, this is off from my assumptions by 12%, but for ease of
multiplication x2 grain FP per hay FP seems fair.
