Location: GODS country | How many people are NO longer feeding their horses grain (ex: strategy, safechoice -- COB, oats)? But simply alfalfa (pellets/cubes), rice bran, beet pulp and vit/mineral?

| Me.
They get a ration balancer for their vitamins and minerals, and if that isn't enough calories with free choice hay (winter) or 24/7 grass pasture (summer), I add alfalfa pellets. |

| The healthiest thing for a horse is forage. The grain is there to give vitamins and minerals. If you can get a straight up supplement to cover that, then I would go off grain. My feeding program is grass and alfalfa am pm, I give more or less of each depending on their weight and workout schedules. They get a local sweet feed which I put a scoop of Platinum on 2x/day. The sweet feed is there to put the supplement on and just as a treat. They get about 2 handfuls for the supplement to go on top of. You could also just get a generic pelleted feed and soak it for the powdered supplement, but I see it kind of as a treat. The small amount isn't going to hurt them. Or you can also get pelleted supplement from some of the other brands. I have seen great results over the last 6 months of changing my routine to this. I was doing 1 flake grass and 1/2 flake alfalfa and 3/4 scoop grain in the am and 1 flake grass and 3/4 grain in the pm. They just didn't look great. Healthy weight but not healthy looking overall. Now it's 1 flake grass 1/2 flake alfalfa, couple handfuls of the same grain and a scoop of platinum. I do this same thing both times a day. They look amazing. |

Location: Oklahoma | I am feeding Renew Gold and my gelding looks amazing. I soak Alfalfa/Timothy cubes OR Alfalfa pellets to feed him his THE scoop and I just mix his Biotin supplement in with the RG since it's also in pelleted form. I've only been doing it for about three weeks, but I am so far impressed! |

My barrel horses get alfalfa pellets with about a cup full of rice bran to add in their supplements and pasture grass in the summer while my pasture pets which are occasionally used for trail riding get just pasture grass. Then in winter time they all get hay, pasture pickings & beet pulp, but my barrel horses also still get their alfalfa pellets rice bran and supplements added in. Everybody is fat and happy! |

| No grain for 4 years. My feed programmed evolved to no grain from dealing with colic and ulcers. I feed molasses free beet pulp- 1 cup in the summer, more in the winter for calories,renew gold for fat, 707 essential vitamin and minerals, alfalfa for protein, horses have 80 acres to graze. Mine look good and feel good.

Location: Arkansas | Not a vitamin/mineral as i believe they get most of that from the fertilized grass they eat. I give my barrel horses a special blend of T.H.E. Muscle Mass, human grade organic sulfur & Animed's Remission. They also have a salt block. I have a 13 yr. old 1D mare @ big shows & a 6 yr. old mare that just started running 3D times and they are both in great shape. Even in this heat they don't lack for energy and aren't sweating bad and panting like most horses i see.
I cannot say enough great things about T.H.E. Muscle Mass, if it were the only supplement i could feed, i would.

Location: Texas | If I had it my way, I would not feed grain.
It is better for the horse to eat mostly forage with vitamins and minerals supplemented as needed. Ideally, you should test your pastures and your hay to see what they are getting and compare that to what they require for nutrition… and then supplement based off that.
However, it can be time consuming and those levels change a lot especially during the time of year. If I was at home with my horses and had enough pasture for them to live off, I would be all over it. But I am at school and depend on my mom and sister to feed and ride my horses…we have enough pasture for them to move around and graze on, but not enough for them to really live off so we still feed a complete feed and then give hay and pasture in addition. One day when I'm out of school and have my own place, I will hopefully have it set up to where they can live off the grass and get supplementation with vitamins and minerals. |

After my old guy had colic surgery a year and a half ago, my opinion about grain changed.. I had him on SafeChoice. (not that I blame the grain for his surgery, but it left a bad taste in my mouth). After the surgery, the vets had me keep him on a coastal and alfalfa diet for a long time... so I just stuck with that. So mine only get alfalfa, pasture grass and now I am feeding Renew Gold along with GroStrong Minerals, a joint supplement, etc... And man I LOVE IT! My horses look and feel wonderful.. My old guy is 15 and he acts like he feels better now than he ever has. I also have my 5 year old on it and she does great on it too. It doesn't make her hot. I won't be going back to grain unless there is an absolute need for it.. |

| Id like to get away from grain too. I do have access to renew gold and have toyed with the idea of switching. I feed beet pulp already. I could get alfalfa pellets if needed or oats. I also feed THE muscle mass and forco. They have no pasture so they get fed coastal twice a day. Im wondering if I went the renew gold route if id need to add a vitamin /mineral to what im already feeding. |

Location: on a hill | I only feed barley, beetpulp & platinum to my 1 horse but he's a hard keeper. The rest are all on pasture and empower balance. Been feeding this way for a few years. When i did feed grain it was very little. I always fed more hay than most people around here do. I dont belive they really need grain. There are exceptions to that though. |

One gets alfalfa pellets with a vitamin supplement, garlic, and hoof/joint supplements plus a round bale in his pen. I went with the Alfalfa pellets b/c that's what he was on when I bought him, and I decided not to fix what wasn't broken. Plus they're cheap. He's fat, happy, and in good health. I don't plan on giving him grain ever. |

| My broods get normal grain amounts, and everyone gets a handful daily so I can feed their vitamin/mineral. But I've gone from using 15 bags a month to 4. Getting less than a pound a day has aleviated all the grain-based issues. Their feet have changed, their attitudes are great, energy high but not hot. After weaning and drying up I'm going to try feeding the alfalfa (replaced grain in my feed program) to the broods twice daily instead of grain and give that a try. |

| I have 3 horses and i feed one 50 bag of blue seal low starch. I have a yearling, and older brood mare and she could be fatter, but i know she needs her teeth done, and my 11 year old 16.1 hand gelding. All plenty fat. Get a good size flake a hay, and grass all they can eat. In winter i give some hay replacement pellets of some kind and beet pulp.
And a slice of alfalfa. I used to feed at least to feed at least 100 pounds of feed for the same amount of horses. And if i am workimg my gelding hard i get some kool kalaries which is a granulated fat. Really good. Not expensive and works. |

I'm in a similar situation. My horse is still at home and the rest of the barn gets grain. And my mom only has a couple acres so there isn't anything to graze, they just get out to move around and socialize. I'm studying nutrition in school and it is something I'm passionate about, so it naturally carries over to my horse.
We have close to 10 acres at my fiance's place but it doesn't have good grass...YET. Slowly but surely we will get there, it just needs a complete overhaul. So hopefully as we get good pasture established I can start backing everybody off grain. His horses get grain as well because they are mainly picking at weeds and crab grass.

Renew Gold is in a trial in some west coast stores and generally not available through them anywhere else. A few other stores have taken the trouble to get it for customers. In general though, Tractor Supply is a no go. I have tried to get them to take it off of their web site with no success. Any independent feed store in the US that carries Manna Pro products can get it with a simple order. If they say that they can't it is simple laziness not availability. |

Do you split the feedings twice a day? What else do you feed with it? I really only have 2 that are in work that would probably need the full lb. My other one would probably just get a half lb. Hes a super easy keeper. |

I do split into 2 feedings. I feed 2.4 lbs of alfalfa cubes, a supplement scoop of whole flaxseed twice a day. In the evening I add grostrong mineral/vitamins and AE because we are surrounded by farm land and I just feel better when I periodically feed it. Also because of the drought our hay is not high quality, but no weeds and they look really good. Fat and shiny. |

My hay isnt horrible but not that great either. Id definitely have to add alfalfa pellets or cubes for the calories on my two that are working. I need to price those in my area (new mexico) and see how much I might be saving making the switch!
Thanks for the info! |

She rode a little tentative since first run in a while- she used to send him hard to the first. Second video is my daughter Morgan, she lives at home but is not interested in riding anymore. She will go every now and then. This run was from last winter- just out of the 1D money-200 entries. Third video is me- I think we won the 2D with this run.

I usually feed low starch and they have on was some joint suppliement. The also have sunshie plus which is a ration balancer, is kinda close to,renew gold on price and calories. Even there hay stretcher has low starch. And there cheap feed is very low starch not reallly much different that safechoice. There formulas are fixed. Until i talked to,her i did not know,how good ther grain is. I love there hay stretcher imuse to,use it as treats. And o,g there banana treats your horses will kill you for them. |

My horses are full of energy, they are on 80 acres and constantly running, bucking and playing. They have bright eyes and bright shiny coats. I brought our pole horse out of retirement to go to ANHA so I started giving him Renew Gold at the beginning of July. His faded out black coat went to a deep rich color, Casualdust even commented on how dark he was for a summer coat. He ran great for me at Waco. |

Location: MD | I'm on the no grain bandwagon at like 95%. and my horses have never looked better.
I feed them enough grain to have a few bites coming in and going out because my one horse will break doors down in order to get it. I only go through a 50lb bag a month for two horses, if that tells you how little I feed! It's more for my Appy's happiness than anything, He LOVES that TC complete so much he goes bananas for it! It doesn't seem to matter to either of my horses that they're getting so little, so I am okay with it.
They are on meadow grass/orchard grass with a flake of alfalfa each day for the summer. 14+ hours of grazing + a round bale with free choice minerals and salt. My horses have seriously never looked better, and they feel so great to ride! I am in total amazement how simple this fix was, and how long I let my horses go before I fed them this way. It makes me feel so much better knowing I don't have to pump them full of grains and supplements to make them look and feel this great.
Before it seemed like I was pouring grain to them and kind of skimping on hay and was so frustrated because they just didn't feel that great. Obviously I wasn't using my brain! |

http://www.walmart.com/ip/South-Bend-8-Pound-Scale/34771004
I have one similar to this.
Hang it up, put your bucket on it, set scale to 0, add your feed, and the weight is of whatever feed you add to the bucket.
Also, most pelleted feeds (not extruded) are approximately 3 standard measuring cups = 1 pound. |

I think it depends on the condition of the horses teeth. I fed cubes for a while but I soaked them before feeding. I never felt comfortable just feeding then whole and dry. But I know several people that do with no problem. |

Crazy to ask but will you come out with a blend without as much flax? Figures my horse is allegeric to flax. I had him on Renew Gold, he looked and acted great, but bloated up after 2 months because of the reaction. Love the concept, simple ingredients, but I have the fluke horse. |

winwillows - 2014-09-11 12:26 AM As to how competitive these rations can be, ask Sherry Cervi, or Dena Kirkpatrick. Both have been on this program for over two years. Also more 1D horses than there is room to list. Getting the digestive system to function properly allows a horse to perform to it's genetic potential. Many of the best performance horses in the World in every type of performance event have moved to this more efficient and safe type of feed program.

As simple as the Renew Gold formulation looks, there is a very complicated relationship between the ingredients. The Flax that is in the product causes specific responses from other ingredients, and needs to be there. Sorry about the sensitivity that your horse has to flax. That is rare. |
