Location: NE Texas | For those of you feeding Renew Gold, how much (by weight) are you feeding per serving? I have finally got my crew switched over, but feel so weird feeding so little (one pound at each feeding). And I think my horses are hungry because they get less than half what they did before. LOL

| I feed the same to my easy keepers and everyone gained weight on that little of feed vs. 5lb a day of what they were on before. When I am hauling one hard I do bump it up 1-2 lbs. I give mine salt and mineral licks if they get bored from eating less, it was weird for me at first too!! |

Well I know that, silly.  They have the same amount of hay I fed before, which is plenty. More than anything it's a mental thing for me, as i'm used to seeing so much more in my bucket. LOL Like when I have less on my plate, I think it's not enough, but it really is! Trick for me is to get a smaller plate.....maybe I need a smaller bucket. |

I feed a ration balancer also, mine get 8 ozs am and pm so I also give them 1/2 scoop soaked molasses free beet pulp. They have 247 access to hay and I feed alfalfa too. |

| One pound, every day. If we are going really hard and I feel like she is losing a little weight I will increase it to 1 and 1/2. |

| Alright yall im in the same boat... I just traded in my Omolene 200 today for the Renew Gold.. I am so scared that I am about to feed them wrong because it is such a little amount! They only get 1lb PER DAY, right? So, 1/2 pound morning & 1/2 in the night?? I have a 13 yo who also gets tight joints plus, and a 5 year old; both are getting 4 lbs of omolene a day currently... They graze constantly and get roughly 10-15 pounds of coastal hay a day, plus alfalfa cubes. Am I totally wrong or is this okay?? This is totally weird for me to feed so little! |

| It was weird for me too! Going from 3lbs of grain to 1/2lb of RG was strange! I felt so bad for my horses it looked like so little. I still add a little Safe Choice Special Care and supps. But my feed bill is in almost in half and I love that.
I am 2 months in and honestly they look better than they ever have! |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I feed 1# a day divided into 2 feedings. I never feed much grain so it wasn't an issue but I do feed 2 cups of soaked beet pulp with it at each feeding. I just eliminated 2 cups of Triple Crown Senior and replaced it with the Renew Gold.

I just started it tonight because of all of the praise of it on these threads! From what I calculated, feeding a 40 pound bag at 4 lbs a day only gets you 10 days of feed. Which is about 3 bags a month. If these bags are priced at at least 20$ then that is 60 dollars a month for one horse. In my case, that is 120$ a month (2 horses). With Renew Gold, you would be feeding 1 lb out a 30lb bag, meaning 1 bag a month. 30$ a bag between 2 horses cuts the feed bill in half.
Plus the concept that there is less grain left in the horses digestive tract makes complete logical sense! I love it all together and I haven't hardly been feeding it yet! I will definitely be posting my results/feedback! |

Location: Wisconsin | I am in LOVE with the results! I felt the same way you did, so I did have my hard keeper on 1.5 lbs. For the first time in the 8 years I have owned him, he got fat! So he is back at 1lb until we start running harder. My other five year old is blooming like crazy, and his ADD squirrel brain has really cooled off. I am blown away at the differences in my boys! |

Location: Kansas | I have always fed cob mix mainly whole oats and a little barley, black oil sunflower seeds. I add rice bran and flax seed daily to my feed so Renew Gold interests me. I have heard that Sheri Cervi does add oats to her Renew Gold does anyone have a clue. I honestly like a little of those good carbs because just like a body builder it adds that energy you need for an athlete causing less fatigue which reduces injuries. If anyone knows post please. I might try it and add a cup of my feed along with this product. |

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I switched two of mine to ADM PrimeGLO, they started getting half of what they used to get. I felt bad that they weren't getting "as much" as they used to, so I started adding a little bit of alfalfa pellets so they think they're getting a lot of feed. |

i think I read that she adds 1# of oats to her renew gold. I switched over about 3 weeks ago and I add 1# of crimped oats for now. that may change as they get adjusted. I really like the concept of this feed. |

Location: Phoenix | We switched at Chrostmas. They're getting 1 lb split between 2 feedings.
I rode my horse after 30 days, (and he hadn't been ridden in 30 days either) and he didn't prance or jog on the way back home after I rode him. He listened, amd seemed to comprehend that we were walking. Miracle! I definitely noticed a difference. Dad says the new horse has gained a lot of weight on it and his backbone doesn't show anymore. You could always kind of see it near his kidney area. I have some 30 day pics if anyone wants to see. You can't tell much of a difference but you kind of can. But it's winter, they all looks like crap to me with their fuzzies!! |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | TSC won't get it in for me in my location. The other Manna Pro dealer in town will get it for me but it'll cost me at least $40 a bag and its a 6 to 8 week wait each time I need any and they won't keep it in stock for me, just order as needed. I can't start my horses on a new feed and not have the guarantee that it'll be there when I need it. Hopefully as the feed gets out there more it'll be easier accessible. |

Location: NE Texas | TSC can't bring it in unless headquarters says it's ok. You might try calling the head quarters and putting the bug in their ear. They ship from a distribution center, so they can if they want to. If you'll contact winwillows, he can tell you other ways to try and get it. Nearly every feed store buys from a couple of the distributors he uses; that's how I was able to get it. Doesn't have to be a Manna Pro dealer. Good luck! And I hope I have as good of results as everyone else. |

| I get it for $33 a bag at a feed store that carries Manna Pro. I do feed oats and beet pulp plus loose minerals with it because my 3 yr old is a real hog and would be cranky on so little feed at feeding time! The difference has been amazing. He's a buckskin and even with a little winter hair, he now has chocolate dapples and a shine to his coat. |

Location: mi | I also just got a quote from my feed store for $55 a bag. I am sure alot of that is shipping and I am guessing that is through Manna Pro. I did send a PM to Winwillow to see if there is a way to get it here cheaper. I trust my feed supplier to have it when I need it. They order my current feed so that's not an issue but at $55 a bag that is actually an increase in my feed bill. I am not sure I can take a chance with that. For a decrease and good reviews I was willing to give it a try. |

I've been quoted $35.00, $38.00 and $42.00 plus here in Texas...it isn't considered a feed so there is tax on top of that. |

Location: My Own Little World | I was able to speak to their rep at the NFR when I was thinking of changing. I have been really trying to get away from grain products with the horses for various reasons. I like that Renewgold is non gmo and I like the ingredients.
We weighed it and found that 3 cups is equal to 1 pound. My mare has been working VERY hard the last month as she is carrying my daughter in 4 rodeo events about once a month plus daily practice. (heading, breakaway, goats, poles) And I am running her in barrels. So we feed 4 cups daily. On heavy work days, we feed 5 cups.
We have also added Redmonds products to our plan (Conditioner and #10 ) And soon I'm going to try Forco. (this is to help them utilize what I'm feeding) The only other thing I may add is Lubrisyn.
So far I really like how she looks and feels. |

It's suppose to be feed in replacement of grain. It seems everyone is doing something different but the main thing is cutting out most of the grain or all of the grain with 1# to 1.5# pounds of Renew Gold. |

Location: Oklahoma | Look at the ingredients on your "regular" feed bag - especially pellets. Most hav a bunch of forage as filler for fiber content and some nutrients. Diet balancers like RG remove all the "fluff."
Here in Stillwater, our local mill is now carrying it. $30.50/bag The only thing concerning me about seitching is that it doesn't sem to have all the added vitamins and nutrients I see in other diet balancers. Love the high fat content, though. |

Here in Stillwater, our local mill is now carrying it. $30.50/bag The only thing concerning me about seitching is that it doesn't sem to have all the added vitamins and nutrients I see in other diet balancers. Love the high fat content, though.
This was my concern too, I am looking at putting out a mineral/vitamin tub. RG seems like an excellent product but I don't know that I would call it a ration balancer.

| Update; my horses have been on it a week. I know that this may seem a little far fetched to see results in only a week, but I started my 13 yo gelding on it to get him some more energy because he just lollygags in the arena. Well, we ran yesterday and man did that ol grandpa have some fire in him! It was nice to finally feel him run! I am in love with this product no doubt |

If you go to the Manna Pro website you can do a search to see where they have a dealership closest to you. Any Manna Pro dealer is "supposed" to be able to order RG for you. Some do and some don't. |

The Resident Destroyer of Liberal Logic
Location: PNW | I've read such great things about RG, BUT still have some reservations.
Here is my horse situation, if anybody has experience with any of this PLEASE post :) thanks!
I have a 7 year old OTTQH. He's 16.2, lanky, hard to put/keep weight on, and HOT and SQUIRRELLY.
He is currently on WellSolve LowStarch (by purina), along with MaxEGlo (mannapro) with a handful of Amplify and then TriFecta mineral supplement (Horseguard) and alfalfa.
My concern with RG would be - would I keep feeding the ricebran with it? Just stop feeding the lowstarch pellets?
AND WILL IT MAKE HIM HOT?! Mostly, this is my concern.
I would love to switch because gosh it would be so much cheaper.... I haven't figured out his monthly feed bill, because then I'd have an answer when my husband asks.lol |

You may want to call the company, but from what I could tell on the <annaPro web site the Renew Gold would replace your pellets and MaxEGlo. The Renew Gold looked to be an amped up MaxEGlo. |

renew gold has stabilized rice bran in it along with the coconut meal. it is supposed to be a complete feed, when we talked to the developer he said you should only add extra feed on occasion if you horse needs a boost. I usually feed it with either wheat bran or beet pulp to up the fiber and because I had one horse that likes to eat dirt. The vet recommened I keep him on it daily to hopefully move the dirt through. He also gets sandclear monthly per the recommeneded feeding instructions.
I love it for my nervous/hot hard/keeper OTTB mare, it does not make her hot. the only other grain that kept the weight on made her a looney toon! She is also a picky eater and she likes the renew gold pellets. I tried the straight coconut meal before and she was not very interested in it. |

| FYI from Rutgers reseach center:
Vitamins are fat-soluble (vitamin A, D, E, and K), or water-soluble (vitamin C, and B-complex). Horses at maintenance usually have more than adequate amounts of vitamins in their diet if they are receiving fresh green forage and/or premixed rations. Some cases where a horse would need a vitamin supplement include when feeding a high-grain diet, or low-quality hay, if a horse is under stress (traveling, showing, racing, etc.), prolonged strenuous activity, or not eating well (sick, after surgery, etc.).
Most of the vitamins are found in green, leafy forages. Vitamin D is obtained from sunlight, so only horses that are stalled for 24 hours a day need a supplement with vitamin D. Vitamin E is found in fresh green forages, however, the amount decreases with plant maturity and is destroyed during long term storage. Horses that are under heavy exercise or under increased levels of stress also may benefit from vitamin E supplementation. Vitamin K and B-complex are produced by the gut microbes. Vitamin C is found in fresh vegetables and fruits, and produced naturally by the liver. None of these are usually required in a horse’s diet. Severely stressed horses, however, may benefit from B-complex and vitamin C supplements during the period of stress.
Minerals are required for maintenance of body structure, fluid balance in cells (electrolytes), nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. Only small amounts of the macro-minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfur are needed daily.
Calcium and phosphorus are needed in a specific ratio ideally 2:1, but never less than 1:1. Alfalfa alone can exceed a Ca:P ratio of 6:1. Sweating depletes sodium, potassium, and chloride from the horse’s system, therefore, supplementation with electrolytes may be helpful for horses that sweat a lot. Normally, if adult horses are consuming fresh green pasture and/or a premixed ration, they will receive proper amounts of minerals in their diet, with the exception of sodium chloride (salt), which should always be available. Young horses may need added calcium, phosphorus, copper, and zinc during the first year or two of life.

I've seen horses that look like a million dollars on a feed that has the fat soluble vitamins added to it and then after long term use they go the other direction. The fat soluble vitamins build up and actually become toxic. There was one feed that trainers were using like crazy with success while individuals started seeing problems as they kept their horse on it while the training horses come and go. |

Location: Willows, CA | Don't hesitate to call and ask for a store near you to be set up. Renew Gold is basically available in just about every state, though many stores do not realize that they can get it. There are some places that are still holes, but a previous post was correct. If you live East of the Rocky Mountains, Renew Gold is distributed through Manna Pro, and any store that sells their products can get Renew Gold simply by putting in an order. West of the Rocky Mountains Renew Gold sells through several distributors. They are VSI, AFCO, KernCo, Bar Ale, and The Grange Coop. All have it in stock. If your store buys from any of these distributors, and most do, Renew Gold is just an order away. |

Seriously call!
I had looked for the product and none of the three feed stores in our area was carrying it. I called Phoenix and they did all the foot work to get it here.
The store that started carrying it only bought two bags in their original order, one for me and one for stock. They sold the stock bag within days of receiving it. They now keep it on the floor.

I agree but the key word is good forage. It has also been found that animals have trouble breaking down the vitamins that come from synthetic fertilizers. |

| Someone please ease my mind on this subject... My dad keeps telling me "your horses are gonna get skinny eating that stuff" cause he is used to them eating so much grain. They get a pound a day and 2 good sized flakes of coastal hay every day plus about 10 alfalfa cubes. I'm in college so my parents are feeding for me so at least that's the instructions I gave them. Someone please just reassure me that they aren't going to starve!! |

Location: mi | Your horses should be getting everything they need from their hay if they are just standing around. Any grain you add after that is to help if they need extra energy due to work load, age, or having hay that might not have enough nutritional value to meet all of their requirements. So no horse should starve by decreasing their amount of grain if they are getting ample good hay. |

| Ive had my gelding on this product for about a year. I was having issues keeping weight on, I was hesitant like others on here only feeding 1 pound per day but it actually works. I feed 2 flakes of alf mix in the morning and at night plus RG and the results are amazing. His body condition score is where it needs to be, he doesnt get hot, and his coat is super shiny. Feeding less grain to get great results is awesome. |

Location: NC | So after reading all the posts is this feed more suited for hard keepers and nervous horses? I have two older, laid back, easy keepers. 1 is just the hubby's trail horse and the other is my barrel horse. We also have a 3.5 year old that seems to be a fairly easy keeper so far but want to make sure she is getting everything she needs to grow to her fullest potential...
Also they get free choice grass hay round bale.
Right now I feed Southern States Solution 14/6. I was just giving the oldies about half a 3 quart scoop am and pm unless the temperature dropped then would up it to a full scoop. I give the younger one a full scoop twice a day.
Would I be better just adding a supplement to the younger one and keep feeding what I am. OR Would RG be something beneficial? Or should I go with a Ration balancer like Nutrena Boost or Empower? Thanks |

Location: Midwest | I feed one pound of renew gold to my old guy who will be 21 in April along with purina senior twice a day. He gets alfalfa hay too. It's been a crazy winter by me and it's been two months since I've started renew gold and the SHINE on him and energy level is sky-high. He's been running around a lot more and just looks so great I am VERY PLEASED! I pay $30 a bag. It's at a tack store about 45 min away so I stocked up a bit but it's worth the drive and time! |

I talked with the guy who works for them, he said if they are getting adequate forage then just the feed would be fine. If the forage is not good quality, then they can have other grain mixed in. He considered "good forage" what I was feeding, which is 2 flakes of coastal and alfalfa cubes. So it's just dependent on your situation! |

Haha I say he is a grandpa just because of his attitude, he was incredibly lazy and gets all rude and upset when I asked him to do something (there was nothing medically wrong its just his attitude), he was acting like an ol fart. But i'm pretty sure he will always have the health of a 5 year old, and now he is acting like one! |

Location: Wisconsin | My boys were like that at first also. Make sure you are still adding some of the senior to it and start out small with the RG. Then slowly take away the senior while bumpinh up yhe RG. |

I will try that. I will also call the company as maybe it is an old bag. I looked and it says to use it within 1 year of purchase. The date stamped on the bag says 7/13. It crumbles the moment I put it in the feed buckets. Thanks for the advice, maybe that is it I have old bags. |

I have 4 horses - all have been on Nutrena Senior. They are fed about 3 pounds a day on that. I slowly started to switch over to Renew Gold - ALL 4 horses have rejected it! ALL FOUR !! Someone suggested adding apple sauce. I don't want to have to do this at every feeding. Its been 3 days - everything left behind. Its pellets and dust. Is this normal? Any one have this problem and suggestions to help? I mean GO FIGURE! ARGH! I feed it and it is pellets, but no dust. I would take it back and get new bag. Maybe old? Or bad batch ? Call the company , they are great .
What is left in the buckets is some pellets and bunch of dust. |

I misunderstood. I feed it with triple crown sr. Which has some molasses on it. Try adding a pound of your feed with it a day. Sheri feeds it with 1 lb of oats a day. Or call and ask to speek to Winn. He will be able to answer questions and go over your feeding program. |

Location: Phoenix | The creator was saying how it comes in pellet form, but they are designed to break down easily for easier digestion. If they aren't eating it, and there's moisture, I bet it would be powder in the morning. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I meant that when its time for feeding, I put the food in the buckets and its pellets mixed with powder. It came out of the bag that way. |

Thank you that is what I tried. I first tried sprinkling it over their normal ration of Nutrena Senior - 1.5 pound and 1/3 pound of NG. The first feeding 1 horse ate everything the other 3 nothing, 2nd feeding all 4 horses didn't touch any grain. I emptied the buckets tried again and still they won't touch either feed now. I am going to try just the Safechoice tonight to see if they will at least go back to that. I am just frustrated as I see in all Renew Gold threads I didn't see anyone saying their horses didn't like it. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | My horse wouldn't eat it alone as I took a small amount and threw it in his bucket and you would have thought I was trying to poison him. I feed soaked beet pulp so it gets mixed in.
I'm on my second bag and there was some dust on the bottom, probably not more then a cup if that.
Now I'm going to go and see if he will eat it by itself.
Hope you get it all figured out as I'm happy with this feed as I like the small amount they get as I have never believed in feeding 6 pounds of grain to a horse a day.

| I was told by the Renew Gold man that Sherrie Cervi feeds the oats because she wanted horse horse to be hotter! She was clocking good but Sherrie wanted her to be a little more revved up than what the feed made her! Basically she was too quiet for her liking! lol |

| For those of you wanting before and after pics/details.... I just wanted to say mine have been on it for 4 weeks and I can see and feel a complete change! My gelding is getting a topline (FINALLY) and he is developing all sorts of muscle definition that I have never seen before on him! And he is very focused. He has cool energy (FINALLY, again). He has always been a pretty calm horse and I've wanted to get a little bit more pep in his step. And well he pranced today!!! Lol he never does that I was so proud
I also have a coming 6 year old mare on it and she is a complete swole house... She has always been a little ribby and you can see her back bone over her butt, and well thats all filled out now too! I recommend to anyone this feed, I love it!
I'm gonna try and upload pics but I can never get it to work. If you want to see some transformation pics, just PM me. I've been taking some every week to see the changes! |
