     Location: where the wind blows | I confess I'm getting totally confused when it comes to feed. I've been feeding Buckeye Grow n Win. My horses looked awesome on it but then I've been told that soy based feeds are not good for horses (especially mares). Yet when looking at ingredients it seems a large majority of the feeds are soy based. I've fed soaked beet pupls but to be honest I hate having to soak them. What do you all feed? | |

| You'll get TONS of opinions on this one.
IMO, you have to feed what works for YOUR horses. Not what works for someone else. I know people dislike soy because of the GMO (genetically modified organisms)vs non-GMO debate. Educate yourself (from quality information sources), decide from there.
Some people don't feed any grain but they also have adequate pasture and quality hay. You have to assess your ENTIRE feeding program and make a decision from there.
I've fed Buckeye, Purina, Tribute and finally settled on Total Equine. It does not mean all the others are bad, it means Total Equine is what works best for MY program. | |

| We've also fed a lot of different ones. Right now we feed Purina Ultium. We started one on it for a low NSC option and we were really impressed with the results so we moved everything over to it.
But yes, it is a personal choice for what works best for your horses. I think the biggest thing is making sure it is produced in clean mills without cross contamination risks. | |

    Location: never in the right place | my horse looked great on anything I fed him. Purina Strategy, Omelene 200, Southern States, Triple Crown low starch. I feed Total Equine now and he has dapples on dapples. 1 3qt scoop is 2 lbs so he was fed 4 lbs a day and lots of good hay. he is now not working so i have recently cut back to 3/4 scoop each feeding | |

     Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Not all soy is created equal.
As some of you are aware, there are a lot of articles and misconceptions about soy in horse nutrition ? including supplements. With so many opinions and myths out there it is hard to decide on what is true and what is just another “craze.” Soy flour is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, calcium as well as iron. It is used in most of our supplements as a source of protein. Protein is necessary for body growth and maintenance. Protein ingestion is what helps your horse’s body make up muscle, hair and hoof. “Increasing amino acid availability (via infusion or ingestion) at rest or post-exercise enhances amino acid transport into human skeletal muscle” 1 Soy can potentially be “bad” for your horse if they’re using the wrong kind or using an excessive amount. Equine nutritionist, Amy M. Gill, PhD, from Lexington, Kentucky states, “Horses need vegetarian sources of protein to supply amino acids. As far as we know, soy protein provides the closest match to equine amino acid requirements," said Gill. "Many of the human soy-related problems reported in the news are coming from women who over consume soy protein, affecting their reproductive hormones, or from people who are truly allergic to soy products.”2 Here at T.H.E. Equine Edge we use Non GMO ? Organic Soy Flour, which is all natural top quality ingredient we bring in for production. We DO NOT use soy flour isolates, concentrates or GMO’s. Anything that is not Organic Soy is highly refined, purified forms of soy protein. We understand what is beneficial for your horse, which is why we pride ourselves in providing you with the best products and service. Focus on reliable sources and facts. Did you know? “The Okinawans are the world’s longest-lived people, probably in part because of their diet. For more than five millennia, they’ve eaten whole, organic and fermented soy foods like miso, tempeh, tofu, soy milk, and edamame (young soybeans in the pod).”3 Stick to what benefits your horse, stick to proven results and facts. As we await more (reliable) studies on soy being a bad ingredient to feed your horse, there’s no need to pass it up in their nutrition. Whether you choose to use soy flour or not we can work with the ingredients you want in their supplement. We can always swap out ingredients in current formulas with ingredients you desire, or of course you can always come to us to discuss making a Custom Formula for your horse that is derived from your horse’s specific needs. - Blake B.

      Location: IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD AT LEAST THEY KNOW ME HERE | I went from blue Bonnet feeds to old school the way my Dad fed...
Except for the cocasoya oil he gave corn oil and equipride just pasture minerals
Rolled oats - pasture horses 1/2 scoop 1x day - BR mare 1scp 2x day
Soaked alfalfa cubes - barrel mare gets 1/2 scoop 2x day --
all others get 2-3 big handfuls
Cocasoya oil - pasture horses n riding horses
BR mare gets rice bran 1c 2x day
All get equipride
Mineral salt blocks
Loose pasture mineral
Even have my foundered mare on this regiment.
Yep doing fantastic ;0)

| I really haven't been a Purina fan. My trainer has been feeding Purina Ultium. Purina asked her to try some new feeds they have out and document changes. She has put the performance horses on Purina IMPACT PERFORMANCE. One horse's mane has grown about 4 inches done the beginning of May. His muscle definition is tremendous. He does get ridden daily. She has put my horses on the same feed. I asked her how you tell if they look better if they already look terrific. She said you can see a difference. She put my 4 year old on Purina OUTLAST to prevent ulcers. She hasn't been on that long enough to tell much. I like the results of the IMPACT enough to change my performance horses to it also. | |

      Location: Sweet Home Alabama | I feed Renew Gold and alfalfa pellets morning and night. They get a flake of alfalfa hay midday.... It's not the best quality hay so that's why I'm feeding the pellets as well. They all look good and shiny. Especially the 2 that just finished their Gastrogard treatment. I had thought about changing feeds because one gelding was pretty ribby but the gastrogard REALLY helped him out, so it leads me to believe it was ulcers, not feed. I would love to give omni cubes a try, but there's no way to get them in central Alabama. I don't think there's even a dealer in Alabama last I checked. Maybe one day. | |

for a week and how quick the taco company got rid of them??
I don't think anyone accepted their offer of free tacos .. lol
What's wrong with just plain old whole oats and baled alfalfa?
It is the premium base and benchmark milling companies use
to compare their high dollar trash filled sacks of feed with.
Add a handful of Moormans GroStrong minerals and you will
not need other supplements and your horses will look great

| Monsanto and others have been caught designing their research on GMOs and Roundup to hide problems, and they distort or deny adverse findings when they do arise. In truth, numerous animal feeding studies show evidence of harm, including cancer, organ damage, accelerated signs of aging, immune system problems, hormone imbalance, reproductive and developmental problems, and premature death.
“The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects…”
- Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (A. Dona and I.S. Arvanitoyannis)
Thousands of Physicians say No to GMOs
Although the industry claims that no humans have been hurt by consuming GMOs, there has been no scientific monitoring of human health reactions. Furthermore, thousands of healthcare practitioners advise their patients to stop eating GMOs, and many report that doing so has resulted in significant improvements in digestive disorders, obesity, diabetes, allergies, kidney disease, infertility, fatigue, chronic pain, inflammation, and autism.
“Over half of American children now have a chronic health disorder and this number is likely to rise. Intestinal dysfunction is evident in nearly all patients seen in my clinic. A significant number of them get better simply by switching to an organic diet. It’s that simple.”
- Michelle Perro, MD, Pediatrician
Experts Reject GMOs as Solution to World Hunger
We are continually told that we need genetically engineered crops to feed the world, but experts dismiss this as public relations fiction. The IAASTD Report, the most comprehensive report on the future of food and agriculture (sponsored by the World Bank and the UN, written by over 400 scientists and endorsed by 59 countries), did not endorse GMOs as a solution to world hunger. In fact, genetic engineering has not significantly increased U.S. crop yields, according to the USDA and controlled comparative studies. Some GMOs have lower yields than non-GMO crops.
High-Risk GMOs Should Not Be In Our Food or Fields
Once you examine the scientific references, read reports from doctors, learn how corporations spin and suppress findings, and look at the repeated warnings by FDA scientists, you will likely conclude that these high-risk foods should never have been introduced. While rising disease rates alone don’t prove causation, when you examine the published charts of more than 20 disorders skyrocketing in parallel with the introduction and increased use of GMOs and glyphosate, the potential magnitude of what these products may be doing to us begins to dawn. And when you realize that contamination of the gene pool is irreversible and that the biotech industry is preparing to introduce GMO versions of virtually all commercial seeds, as well as livestock, fish, trees, grass, flowers, and pets, you will then understand that our generation faces a pivotal decision that affects the future of all living beings on this planet.

| I feed no soy because I had a couple of mares who started having hormone and behavior issue once removed they have now returned to normal . I make my own weird little feed that is all herbal supplements and the horses are doing extremely well. They only eat 3lbs a day and are staying in tip top shape and running hard. The base for mine is just oats and alfalfa pellets and then some other stuff but that is the base to it. | |

About 30 years ago, you had to be careful which deer corn you bought because of a problem with GMO corn having some kind of issue. Seems like it was a fungus that could grown on this corn that was poisonous. There were hundreds of barges sitting on the Mississippi River loaded with corn. That could not be used for any kind of food product. I wondered why they didn't use it for ethanol. | |

    Location: Deep South | After reading so many results on BHW, I simplified my feeding program to just alfalfa and rice bran. My horses were doing great and looked amazing on this. I got so many compliments on them, and was super pleased with their body condition. BUT the only way I have been able to get and keep dapples on them is to feed something with soybean meal in it. I feed 1-2 pounds daily of a ration balancer with soybean meal as the main ingredient in addition to my alfalfa and rice bran now. 3 months into it my palomino and buckskin dappled up so pretty.
So unless I happen to buy a horse with a soy-intolerance, I'll keep feeding it. | |

That problem is not particular to GMO corn, it's a field corn problem in general. What you're talking about is aflatoxin. We use a bio-control called aflaguard on our corn to prevent it, as it's very common in the south. Every load is tested for aflatoxin at delivery to the elevator and rejected if levels are over the threshold. The testing continues at every step in the food chain. In the case you cited, there were probably some people buying rejected loads of corn and selling it in a market (deer corn) that is less regulated and less likely to get them in trouble.
Deer and other critters munch on our GMO crops all year, sometimes causing significant yield damage in the process. They assuredly are not experiencing problems from it, judging by the large numbers. | |

Dude, your information is garbage. A trillion meals. One. Trillion. Meals. Consumed by humans. Not one adverse effect. Because GE is not an ingredient. It's a breeding method a lot more precise and less dangerous than mutagenesis, an organically approved plant engineering process. Bt and Roundup Ready crops of corn, soy, eggplant and cotton allow for less of less toxic pesticides to be used during the growing process and not the 800% greater likelihood of exposure to a deadly pathogen like e.coli, novovirus or salmonella, common due to the use of manure and composting. Below is a report from the European academies science advisory council. This report has THE BACKING OF ALL 28 EU MEMBER STATES SCIENCE ACADEMIES. They estimate about 90% of the studies from which the report is based are non industry funded studies. - "There is now a significant volume of information from environmental and socio-economic indicators to characterise the impact of the first generation of GM crops, revealing a range of benefits. Therefore, it is critically important to ensure that the adoption of GM crops is given due consideration, based on the scientific evidence, within well-characterised good agricultural practice, and alongside attention to other multiple societal challenges associated with marginalisation and inequity. According to the aggregate evidence, GM has no greater adverse impact than any other technology used in plant breeding." " In aggregate, the conclusion from the scientific literature is that there is no validated evidence to associate the first generation of GM crops, that have been cultivated for more than 15 years worldwide (and commercialisation was dependent on more than 20 years of prior art in plant sciences), with higher risks to the environment or for food and feed safety compared with conventional varieties of the same crop" "EU GM legislation was formulated when there was not yet sufficient data to substantiate these conclusions, but now there is. Given the experience gained, the legislation, data requirements and level of scrutiny need to be revisited and recalibrated." EU funded research "The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies." Led by Alessandro Nicolia, an applied biologist at the University of Perugia in Italy, the team collected and evaluated 1,783 research papers, reviews, relevant opinions, and reports published between 2002 and 2012, a comprehensive process that took 12 months to complete. The records covered all aspects of GM crop safety, from how the crops interact with the environment, to how they could potentially affect the humans and animals who consume them." "Nicolia's team couldn't find a single credible example demonstrating that GM foods engender detrimental effects in those that consume them." Consensus document on GMOs Safety (14 Italian scientific societies): ”GMOs on the market today, having successfully passed all the tests and procedures necessary to authorization, are to be considered, on the basis of current knowledge, safe to use for human and animal consumption.” French Academy of Science: ”All criticisms against GMOs can be largely rejected on strictly scientific criteria.” International Society of African Scientists: ”Africa and the Caribbean cannot afford to be left further behind in acquiring the uses and benefits of this new agricultural revolution.” Union of German Academies of Sciences and Humanities: ”Food derived from GM plants approved in the EU and the US poses no risks greater than those from the corresponding conventional food. On the contrary, in some cases food from GM plants appears to be superior with respect to health.” International Council for Science: ”Currently available genetically modified crops – and foods derived from them – have been judged safe to eat, and the methods used to test them have been deemed appropriate.” International Seed Federation: ”The development of GM crops has benefited farmers, consumers and the environment… Today, data shows that GM crops and foods are as safe as their conventional counterparts: millions of hectares worldwide have been cultivated with GM crops and billions of people have eaten GM foods without any documented harmful effect on human health or the environment.” Society of Toxicology: ”Scientific analysis indicates that the process of GM food production is unlikely to lead to hazards of a different nature than those already familiar to toxicologists. The level of safety of current GM foods to consumers appears to be equivalent to that of traditional foods.” Health Canada: “Health Canada is not aware of any published scientific evidence demonstrating that novel foods are any less safe than traditional foods.” World Health Organization: ”No effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of GM foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.” Further, Organic produce is no more nutritious and likely takes more energy and nearly twice the land of conventional farming. | |

Yes, things have changed greatly since I had a joint marketing project with them that ended 11 years ago. At that time the GroStrong mineral was all made to my formulation in Quincy Ill and that plant did no medicated feed. I have no idea if that is still the case, since there seems to be issues in other plants. | |
