No one is saying Renew Gold is bad. It didn't work on our horses. I talked to a vet about it and his explanation was that some horses can't handle that much fat .

We've fed Blue Bonnet for about a year. I've been very impressed with the quality so far. We feed the Intensify.....our ponies are fat, slick & healthy.

I LOVE the Omega Force! I have brought back 3 very skinny horses (2 high energy arabs) on way less grain then I was using with other grains! If I had a safe place to store it I would buy it in Bulk but unfortunately I don't so I just buy a few bags at a time.

Absolutely. I am not saying its bad AT ALL. I have seen great results with other peoples horses.

I REALLY want to try it. I am in the works of having my local feed store get it in. I was on ADM until the poisoning fiasco. They also get Woody's in and I have always wanted to try that until I saw the bags. It looks and smells like pure molassas. The bags also get oily spots where they sit at the feedstore. To me it just looks like WAY too much sugar. My horses don't need that kind of feed, I'm afraid they would get higher than a kite.

I just bought a couple bags of Purina Active Senior for my boy's really old pony and 22 yr old geldings. I like it because it has more fat. Not sure what BlueBonnets to try. I would love one that would be good for the old geldings and still enough for the riding horses.

I used SafeChoice Senior and Purina Senior and have had WAY more luck with the BB Omega Force! If the horse can still eat hay and doesn't NEED the senior feed to supply the roughage then I highly suggest the Omega Force. You can always call a rep and ask them too! The Omega Force is very concentrated so it's fed at a lower amount then most other grains. Only 1 out of 8 horses on our property refused to eat it. After 3 days that 1 horse gave in and he now loves it.

I don't think you can go wrong with the intensify omega force .. it's got the lowest feeding rate .. I tried their extruded feed one time ... horses didn't care much for it.. I always end up going back to the omega force.

I really like the concentrated feeds. I just feel like it isn't good for them to be on 8lbs of grain. Mine are all on either grass pasture or free choice grass hay. The old pony can still eat decent but really quids his hay. He gets a bucket of soaked beet and alfalfa pellets every morning just to make sure he gets his belly full. I also give him a scoop of senior feed at night. He seems to really like the Purina Active senior. I'm going to keep working on my feed store and see if they can get BB up here.
