I was interested in ADM or Buckeye’s ration balancers, but someone elsewhere mentioned Total Equine. Experiences? Before and after pics? Original or LNSC?

Buckeye...because it is made in a CLEAN mill for equines only.I wouldn't give ADM the time of day after they refused to tell the truth about their milling process .And I wouldn't use Tribute for the same reason.

I fed it for awhile. The 2 young, unbroken horses did great on it. My barrel horse fell completely apart on it, to the point he lost his top line and when I called to see if I was doing something wrong inadvertently, they were less than helpful.

We bought it ..... horses would NOT eat it .....We had to finally mix it with another feed so they would eat it. This was 5 or 6 years ago so I am not sure if the formula is the same now.

Have you considered feeding a extruded feed? I love Buckeye but it is not sold here. Muenster Milling extruded feeds are great. And they enhance digestion

I kept my main horse on it for years and he did well on it. I switched to Tribute Essential K and he's done just as well on it as he did the TE. The TE has a decent profile for hooves which is why I fed it.

We tried it one horse refused to eat it other ate it alright. So we switched that was several years ago we've been using omnis cubes for going on four weeks now and am very happy with it so far.

It is easier for my old guy to digest since it's an extruded diet...and he has been doing well on it. We don't feed much grain at all to the other young ones so they get a bit as well. The main portion of their diet comes from quality forage. All in all I do like the TE.

Total Equine-I feed it and a lot of people here have switched to it. just got a new horse and he had to problem switching to it. eats it right up. my other horse had more dapples than usual last summer. you only feed 4 lbs a day and my horse held his weight. I will see how the new one does over the summer haul.
