Which one do you feed and why? I'm leaning towards switching to Ex-Factor due to the low starch. I'm currently feeding Triple Crown Senior, but one of my mares is not eating it well anymore. Ready to try something new...

I feed the Omega Force. I ride 4 to 6 days a week, make two or three races a month-some two day. I feed four pounds of Omega, about five pounds of alfalfa hay and free choice bermuda grass daily. I just started riding an older gelding that has been on pasture/bermuda hay only for over a year. I'm interested to see if I see a difference in his winter hair coat getting shinier/softer on the Omega. I've had no problems with my horses eating the Omega Force. I started the gelding on one pound twice daily, but will build him up to four pounds or more daily within the next week. I started feeding it this winter and feed less of it than I did ADM or Oats when I fed them (different times).
I feed it due to the amount of time I put on their backs plus I feel they need it to be at their highest competitive level.
