| Renew Gold, does have Cool Stance Feed in it. only 11% carbs, 8% coconut oil. the feed is only the copra, or white meat of the coconut, dried slowly. Very calm, high protein feed. Power Stance is the straight, powdered coconut oil, 75% fat. 18 Amino Acids naturally occur in both Cool Stance and Power Stance. Plus, great coat, better glycogen absorption in horses, muscles, great for the gut, huge growth for healthier hooves, new growth as well as the whole hoof. Did you know Cetyl M, is one of the 5 oils, found in coconut oil, and it is sold as a joint supplement. did you know that Sea Buck has coconut oil in it. Coconut burns fat for metabolism,, the feed is fed wet and holds four times its weight in water, thus hydrating the horses gut, and unlike beet pulp, only takes 5 minutes to absorb, that water. One pound twice a day, is adequate for a normal horse to eat of it, with water, weighing up to 5 pounds. One sack lasts about 22 days, per horse. I have raised my broodmare, babies, and barrel horses on it, for past 6 years. | |

| We also drink Coconut oil, Power Stance in hot drinks, coffee, etc. My dad is a diabetic, and keeps his blood sugar, very normal. Best hair coats in the world for horses, and dogs, good for people as well. | |

Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon! | I feed about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per day depending on the horse and the time of year. I'm not sure how much to feed and I've done some research, but haven't found anything definitive so I will follow this. | |

| Cool Stance Feed, is just the copra, white meat. One pound, twice a day. I add salt, and a vitamin mineral supplement, and winter time one pound of Alfalfa pellets. all soaked in water, it holds four times its weight in water. a very heavy bucket of feed. Hydrating the horses, gut, is very good especially for our Texas summer weather, and winter when they dont drink as well. One 44# sack will last a normal size horse 22 days. Approximate cost per horse, per month is $35. coconutforhorses.com or stanceequine.com I have been a distributor for 6 years. in Houston. We have this feed in about7 countries, dressage, endurance and most of the Olympic horses were on it. | |

| When feeding our powdered, Power Stance, for ease of feeding in temperatures, below 76 degrees. We feed approximately 1/4 cup a day, but more for show coats, and the shiniest, most glistening hair coat, and good hooves. Very good for gut, anti-viral and anti bacterial. helps horses joints as well. Cetyl Misterate, or Cetyl-M is marketed as a great joint supplement. one the 5 oils in coconut is Cetyl Misterate. older horses, laminitic horses, really benefit and those that are very high strung, low carb 11%, feed has 8% fat. Power Stance is 75% fat. stanceequine.com or coconutforhorses.com | |
