RB and pregnant mares...

I was just thinking, we've had the horses on a RB (Enrich 32) for about a year now, didn't have any foals this year, and won't have any next year. But, we are breeding 3 mares next year for 2010 babies. So, it will be the first time we've had preggo mares on a RB. For those of you who feed a RB and breed... Has that been enough for your mares? Did you increase the amount towards the end of the pregnancy and during lactation? Or did you have to add anything to it (oats, rice bran, etc, etc)?
All are pretty easy keepers...2 of the 3 have had foals before and kept their weight well after foaling. The other mare always used to be on the thinner side (not thin, but not as chunky as the others usually are), though this past year she has filled out nicely (she turned 5 this past spring) and suprisingly plumped up (we joke saying she heard us talking about breeding her, so she's preparing now, haha).
