| I have a hard keeper. He's rode or ponied almost daily. He's one of those horses that keep themselves in shape because he bucks, runs, rears, trots everywhere he goes. He is competing starting this weekend 3x a week (rodeos) as well as getting used on the ranch 1-2x a week. He is sensitive and ulcery, but also SO picky. He gets alfalfa/grass pasture (more alfalfa than grass out there) and he also gets hay from that same pasture from last years season. I only grain 1x a day due to my work schedule and his pasture being a ways away from any way to separate or segregate him unless I put him in his own pasture (which CAN be done if I have to). He is like a child, he would rather eat the things he should (sweet feed is his weakness) so getting him to eat a pellet is a PAIN, so any tips for that would be awesome too! Looking at these feeds: -Intensify Senir Therapy -Triple Crown Complete -Triple Crown Senior -Intensify Total Advantage -Ex-Factor Low Starch -Intensify Omega Force |

Call Dr. Jyme Nichols..
I've talked to them LOTS. Tried Omega Force but my guy refused to eat it so I never looked back, but just want to have a 1 feed program along with his pasture and hay at this point. All 3 BB nutritionists recommended all these feeds listed. I want other opinions and reviews. |

| Have you tried BB Horsemens Elite Senior Care? Works for my 31 year old who is ultra picky. |

My mare sounds exactly like your horse. I feed her TC Senior. She loves it. |

         Location: LouLouVille, OK | I have fed BB Omega Force off and on for years, tried a few other programs and none compaired so been back on it for every horse I have for over 2 years and LOVE it, easy programs are my game... and you don't feed much in compairison to alot of others... You can always throw a handful of sweet feed in with your pellets to entice him to eat it, but I believe Omega has a little molasses in it, all my horses eat it no problem... Its a great low starch and sugar feed too! |

| Found out why my horses turned their noses up to Triple Crown on a thread on FB. Turns out my mill changed. They knew more than I did. So I will be going with Omega Force by BB! Excited to make the switch, I already use their supplements so what better. |
