| My last post was about find I moldy feed in the bottom of my bag of Purina omolene 200. I now want to switch after research of people finding the same in different bags from Purina. Since this bag my mare has been wheezing the part few days and gets out of breath easy.
What do you feed your horse?
I've heard of F1 formula and heard a lot of good things about it
Triple crown feed
Platinum performance feed
What are other out there you suggest? |

Nutrena's new ProForce line looks good, if you can get it.
Seminole has some good options. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I use Purina Omolene 500 on one and Nutrena Safechoice Sr on the other horse I'm running. I buy oats in bulk for the rest of my horses. Someone on your last thread told you Purina was crap. I don't agree. My mare looks great and feels great. |

Location: God's country...aka TEXAS | I highly recommend Renew Gold. Low starch, high fat and it's not technically a "grain." So it won't ferment in your horses' hind gut like Omolene does. |

You can get a pallet of Woodys, they are really good to work with, and the freight charges were reasonable...I split a pallet with a neighbour.
At the time I was feeding Omolene 500 as well, and I thought that they were very comparable to each other...I liked the Woodys, but not enough to warrant getting another pallet delivered...and my neighbour felt the same..Omolene 500 is so available and handy...right now I am lovin the whole oats and Forco... |

They will deliver it right to you if you've got a pallet fork to unload it. The freight's not terrible on it either, I bet you'd pay less for freight than I do since you are farther north than I am. I order Summer Heat and Cool Fuel 25 by the pallet right from Woodys and they drop it off right here. |

I agree being further North, your freight would be very reasonable...and they are great folks to do business with!! |

I have a bunch of 500 to feed up but I should get some from Dave to see how Crack does on it before I do a pallet. If I had someone close to share with would be ideal since I'd probably only feed it to one horse. I think I'll give them a call to see what freight would be. Thanks ladies! |

Location: NM | I'll "third" bluebonnet Omega Force. Great feed! What I like about it most is that the feeding rate is 4 to 8 pounds. I've never had to feed more than 4lbs to keep my horses, mostly colts, in condition. Plus, at the mere rate of 4lbs I know that I am getting all the vitamins and minerals my horses need. Compare that to most feed labels which recommend feeding anywhere from .75 to 1.50 lbs of feed per 100lbs of body weight. That means for a 1,000 lb horse I would have to feed 7.5lbs of feed to get the vitamins and minerals my horses need! If I didn't feed that amount I would need to supplement separately to ensure my horses nutrition. So while the cost per bag may be more than other feeds available to me, I'm saving money because I'm not having to feed as much and/or buy additional supplements. The added bonus is the 12% fat makes my horses glow |

All of mine are on 4lbs PER DAY. even the rescue. They all look amazing on it. Love the omega force. Always fresh and very clean great smelling grain. I give $22 for it . But its well worth it imo. |

| After feeding Purina feeds for the past 14 years I recently switched to Bluebonnet Total Advantage. My horses are doing great! I can really tell a difference in them and it is all for the better. I did not have a problem with Purina. Two of my friends had switched to Bluebonnet and their horses looked and felt great so I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did!!

That is the only thing Purina offers that I would even consider feeding. And Nutrena has improved a lot the past few years. I like the looks of their ProForce lines. Just stinks they're only available in certain states. |

I feed rolled oats/beet pulp with OmegaHorse Shine and alfalfa cubes.
My horses look better and feel better than they every have - I have fed Strategy, Total Equine, Triple Crown, Safechoice - I am finally satisfied. |

It keeps for a long time if you've got a cool, dry place to keep it. I buy a pallet every March, and it lasts me an entire year. (I only feed it to 2-3 horses because I feed other things including ADM & a custom mix to our others). I store it in our machine shed on the pallet. I've never had it go bad. |

Ya, it's a pain for me too. It's 100 miles for me also and the place isn't open on weekends but my horses look great so I make a point to get it. |

That doesn't sound too bad then. I have plenty of places to store it in the machine sheds too. When my 500 stash gets down there a little I'll have to talk to them about getting a pallet. |

Do you know what freight company brings your feed? We use a few different ones for our business and thought I could have some thrown on one of our trucks. |

I can't remember the name but its a pretty common one you've probably used before, with your business I'd bet. Although I can't remember the name, the same company that brings our feed from up there also brought us a big DeWalt pressure washer last fall that Brett had ordered online from somewhere LOL. |

LOL....Hey I can get a pressure washer and feed all in one load! Rude comes through quite a bit. Next time they stop I'll ask what they'd need to throw a pallet on just to compare it to the quote I get from Woody's. |

Location: Texas | Just a thought- you may be holding Purina responsible for a problem that is created by your local feed dealer. Holding textured feed too long in a hot warehouse (over ordering) is probably to blame.
I feed Purina Healthy Edge. Never a problem. |

Hmmm, I wonder if they go thru Pierre when they deliver yours. I'll have to try to remember this next March. Maybe it would cheapen freight if we ordered at the same time. |

| I switched to Bluebonnet Intensify!!!! I was feeding Woodys Summer Heat. My horses Feel and Look so MUCH better!!! Their attitude is also great!!! They were a little on the Hot side when on the Summer Heat and would buck and be naughty. NOw we have none of that. wish I would have taken a before and After. I also top dress with the Animal Element Detox. they say I wouldnt need to but it has the MSM and Glucosimine in it. A GREAT Combination!!!!   |

Location: Fort Collins, CO | Purina Ultium. I love that it has a high fat content in it and I only have to feed a couple pounds a day and my horses look great (limited hay as well, not free choice.)
Doesn't make them hot or crazy, and I've never had an issue with it (mold, etc). I bet your feed dealer may be storing it too long in the warehouse---because we all know they are not air conditioned to keep it below 85 degrees! |
