Location: North Dakota | I feed Woody's. I love all their feeds and they can custom mix for you as well. My horses blossom quickly when I put them on Summer Heat. They fatten up and get super shiny. Plus their prices are great! I usually get a few people together and buy a pallet together and it is cheaper than the cheapy store brand feeds at the farm/ranch stores. |

Location: North Dakota | I do too, summer heat, sweet 12, bloom n groom and futurity blend based off need. I just couldn't answer your question about the corn oil, I can tell you that what it says it will do, it will happen. Wish I could "want" to afford to feed it to everyone.
Low price, small amounts-be sure you weigh your feed-great quality. |

That's what we feed too, to several of our horses. They look great and feel great as well. Can't say as that the amount of corn oil in the feed is enough to cause inflammation issues. Or at least, not that I can tell. |

| Thank you for the comments
I was thinking of switching to the summer heat but reading the corn oil kinda threw me. Pricing seemed okay.... |

Location: North Dakota | Does the Woody's Cool Fuel make a horse "spastic?" I've got a bit of a hard keeper, lots of thoroughbred influence, and I recently put him on Amplify for the fat, but the bugger tried to buck me off last Sunday. This horse has never bucked on me and the only thing I changed, feed wise, was adding the Amplify.

| We LOVE Cool Fuel at our house, particularly in the spring when the green grass seems to cause naughty behavior. We keep the ponies on it to reduce the NSCs in their diet and the kid's horses on it to keep them steady. No spastic (that isn't caused by something else!) activities on Cool Fuel. You also don't have to feed a ton of it. When they need more energy we switch (all but the ponies) to Summer Heat. Cool Fuel may not have the weight gain attributes you are after, though. |

I feel there is too much starch in Summer Heat. Any feed that contains grains and sugars will increase the starch component of the diet and will overload digestion in the small intestines, causing changes in the hind gut, resulting in lactic acid build up and acidosis. As far as inflammation, introducing Omega 3’s will help reduce inflammation. Corn and soy are high in Omega 6 which promote inflammation. |

I've sure never had that problem--I've got three daughters of Tres Seis on it right now that tend to be hot but they are keeping their weight good, and behaving well, on 2.5# of Cool Fuel per day. |

Location: South Central Florida | I fed it for a couple of years...LOVED IT. The only reason I'm not feeding it anymore is because the dealer stopped carrying it, and it's too hard to get where I live. I'm not sure if it is available in Florida. During winter it was hard to get here, and shipping made it expensive. Wish a dealer would start carrying it locally again. But I loved the feed. Horses looked and ran amazing and never had a problem with the feed. |

| I have always fed Woody's but now have a horse that can't tolerate Summer Heat. I went back to something with no molasses in it and she is fine. |
