| Hi all. I was wondering if I could get some help redoing my current feed routine. It works okay but it is too complicated lol. I have 3 horses that I am feeding, retired 23 year old OTTB, and 2 14 year old quarter horses. Is there something that could replace a couple of these with one supplement? They also are on pasture 24/7 and get about 10 lbs alfalfa and 5 lbs orchard hay at night. Any help in general would be amazing. I dont know if I need to add another feed, up my renew gold or what. They are all at a healthy weight, wouldn't mind putting some more on since it is winter. I am a college student but I defiantly want them to look and feel their best no matter the cost(sometimes unfortunately lol) I am in western washington and have access to Tractor supply, the co-op and Coastal. Thank you! What they eat Mare 1 in moderate work (3-4 days a week) - 1lb renew gold - 2 oz pozzi relax - 2 oz forco - 1 oz tight joints - 2 oz quiessence - 2 oz LMF super dose Mare 2 in light work( 1-2 days a week) - 1lb renew gold - 2 oz forco - 2 oz quiessence - 2 oz LMF super dose Mare 3 (retired moderate keeper) - 1lb renew gold - 2 oz forco - 2 oz LMF super dose

              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I would up the hay and Renew Gold a bit and stop all the extras supplements and just feed the hay, Renew gold, Forco, and look into the MVP supplements as in mega-Cell or the Mega -Mag. I use to feed Forco but goodness the supplements were really adding up so I started them all on the Mega-Cell, its got what I wanted in Vits and Minerals and Amino Acids all in one supplement. MVP is #1 in supplements in my books, I just got tired of having to add different ones in my horses feed, going simple as in feeding is better for me and my horses. |

| I just did the math and my god, I spend alot per month lol. Since I buy in bulk, I spend less then norman but it is still about $360 per month for all the horses. If I did forco, renew gold and platinum, I would still be spending about $306 per month. |

     Location: Jersey Girl | Since you feed Renew Gold you don't really need to add a vitamin/mineral supplement. You just need to provide good quality hay and a good protein source. |

       Location: Tex. Panhandle | My 2 get the Preform from Nutrena. We get it at Tractor Supply. My gelding that is a bit harder to keep weight on also gets kool calories. They have a free choice round bale of grass and get fed alfalfa 2x a day. They also have free access to pasture The only supplement either get is a joint supplement from CEP along with Gut Check from CEP. I feel like sometimes we get so wrapped up in supplements that we tend to over feed and they lose their potency esp when numerous ones are given. |
