Does bran have a "heating" effect? And what does chaff consist of?
My loan mare had a mix in her feed bin - name escapes me, but it says on the sack that it is for horses in light work and won't heat them up. The friend I share her with has been giving her quarter scoops of this, and possibly bran and chaff mixed in with it. This mare has been extremely skittish the last few days - on Saturday she went crazy and tried to break out of her stable when she saw/heard two horses in the distance galloping across the stubble field opposite!
She is usually very placid. Not sure if she's just been upset by these horses galloping past, or if the hard feed is having an effect!
