Location: OK | I've had 4 horses of different ages on this feed 12% protein/12% fat for a couple months. They are also on good free choice grass hay. None of these horses have developed any kind of topline, and they are ridden no less than twice a week, usually 5 days a week, sometimes working hard, sometimes just trotting/loping.
For y'all who feed it, what's the deal? Am I not feeding enough? Do they have to have alfalfa? I heard nothing but rave reviews about it, and I have to say, I'm not impressed with muscle tone, but I'm very impressed with mental attitude. |

Location: Bandera, TX | I have had my hard keeper mare on it for the last couple of months. She gained some weight and top line, but is also acting like a fire breathing dragon right now. I just started switching her back to TC Senior to hopefully get my sweet mare back. I had some great success with THE Muscle Mass to help with her top line. |

Location: OK | How crazy, mine have done the opposite lol. Cool as cucumbers, and don't look bad, but just not great.... and they are getting worked. Usually by this much work, I have my horses looking pretty good, and it seems like this year I just can't get it. |

Location: NM | I love Omega Force. I've never had one get hot on it and I ride mostly 2-5 yo. I feed the minimum recommended weight of 4lbs but I feed alfalfa too since that is the most economical hay in my area. Maybe try upping the amount by a couple lbs for a few months and see. It can take some time to see results. I had a 3 yo come in at the end of August that was pretty thin, it wasn't until November that she started looking good. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | I will say first and foremost I am a FAN of Bluebonnet, as is the two vets that I use the most. I feed both the omega force intensify and the senior therapy feed.
I don't feed a lot of the omega force BUT I also feed beet pulp with it. I don't have weight, topline, energy, etc issues whatsoever with the two that are on it.
I switched my gelding to the senior as I didn't like him on it. I literally saw a difference with the senior feed within about 8 days. My vet thought he looked the best he had seen him in 2 years. I then switched one of my mares over as we thought she may have a mild issue with PSSM. She had really tight muscles but that was her only issue. I saw a complete difference in her within 2 weeks. The senior feed is their lowest starch product and high fat.
I thought about putting everyone on the Senior but I like how the other two mares look on the Omega Force and so I am keeping it.
Oh, I don't know if this makes a difference either but all of my horses are on Forco. |
