Has anyone tried this? If so, what did you feed it with & what results did you see as far as conditioning and hooves? How long did it last and were you able to cut back on your feed?
I started feeding it to my futurity colt May 1st. What i wanted to notice was better hoof growth, muscled up more (he was already in pretty good shape) and I really watched to see if he would continue to get tired or lazy (bored) while riding for a while. I was very happy with the results after a month; he seems engaged the entire ride and doesn't get sluggy, his feet have been needing to get trimmed every 4-5 weeks, and his hair coat is awesome. He also is filling out really nice, whether that is related to the SuperSport or just growing up I don't know. He continues to get fed SuperSport with his omolene 200. I haven't decreased the amount of grain that he gets or even thought about it I guess, since he is maintaining his weight perfectly right now.
I need to talk with my feed lady about getting my mare started on it soon as she will be having her baby weaned in a couple months and will get back to competing this fall.
My one bag lasted for one horse about 1 1/2-2 months. I'm a fan of it!
I'm just finishing my first bag but I feed it to two older geldings so I want to say it lasted 40 feedings? Its a 40 pound bag and you feed a half pound per day/per horse. I wanted it to help muscle tone in these two older guys and to help my one who ties up. I think they look great. Its also supposed to help with recovery. You don't feed less of your regular feed, this is a supplement.
