They are on free choice hay, meadow grass for 8-10 hours a day and almost free choice orchard/alfalfa mix . They will be getting about 1-1.5 lbs a day. Light exercise for both, maybe3 days a week for 20-30 mins of trails or light arena work. |

What are your reasons for wanting to feed omolene?
Is it Availability? Prefer a textured feed vs a pellet?
Omolene 100 is the old horsemans edge line (I believe)
I have fed it to a groups of boarders horses that requested it and we liked it. From my experience it worked well for those horses.
Personally because of costs of my area I don't like paying 18 bucks for a maintenance type feed.
But I will tell you I am switching one from safe choice maintence because that horse lost all kinda weight in no time.
Going to try strategy healthy edge and see where it goes.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I perfer pellet feed over textured, I feel they get more out of a pellet over the textured, to me a textured is more of a filler but thats just me. I tryed the Omolene years ago and I had to feed more of it to get the results I wanted and then my horses would get hot, then Bluebonnet came along and switched to their pellet feeds and I never looked back. Got awesome results..  |

| Not a big fan of Purina feeds because I think you pay for the name, however, Purina has done a tremendous amount of research over the years. Try the feed and if you get the results you want, stick with it. I will say this, Purina probably has the most consistent feeds across the çountry as far as quality. |
