hlynn - 2015-07-20 10:20 PM Just an FYI, you're barely feeding the minimum amount recommended for that feed. 7lbs is not much at all. I'm going to try to post a pic of the chart I found from the info sheet on BB omega force. We shall see if my phone cooperates. You have to feed the minimum and go up from there. If you're not feeding at least the minimum recommended, you can't expect to see results. Some horses just take more than others to keep good weight on. And for those talking about feed quality, this is definitely one of the better feeds available out there today. I've heard very good things about it from a lot of people
I posted a link to the recommendations on the feed she's using above...Her's are on Intensify from what I understand.  Omega Force is more concentrated than the Intensify pelleted feed.  
I didn't realize they had two Intensify feeds. My mistake. So you're definitely not feeding the minimum by any means. Here's the chart for the plain Intensify pelleted version.
Intensify is actually a line of feed that they produce;  Intensify, Intensify Omega Force, Intensify 14/8, Intensify Sr, Instensify Growth & Development.    (I think that they made the name of several of their products WAY too long)  The Stride supplements are the same way.  Too confusing...

 I agree

Regarding weight & overall appearance, I've learned that it's mostly about the hay(s), not the feed.  Feed hay from different sources/fields/areas for ultimate minerals, etc.   I feed all kinds of hay; alfalfa, timothy, orchard grass, peanut hay, a little coastal, etc.; at least 3 pads of hay per feeding; 6-7 per day.  Horses look and feel great, and I rarely supplement with anything.  Mine run/compete most weekends are are ridden throughout the week.  They are fed Seminole Perform Safe (very little!), and are thriving.

Location: mi		I agree with everyone else on the hay. Add in more of the alfalfa and worry less about the grain. I have an older gelding that each summer once he got to working he just looked a bit ribby had a good hair coat and lots of energy but just on the thin side. I have tried every grain under the sun for him. This summer I addedin Alfalfa cubes and within 2 weeks his ribs were finally not so noticable. and we are now well into week 3 and I am starting to see some other area filling in. I have a good grassy Timothy hay that all of my other horses look nice on but it was just not enough for him. I will be shopping for a good alfalfa mix this year for him so that I don't have to mess with the cubes but until then he just munches away on them.

Yes good quality hay and grass are essential! For those that are feeding Renew Gold have you looked into adding some Amplify with it? I have heard of people doing this
