  Just wanting to get some opinions on what you are feeding as far as a grain , and a supplement. How much they are getting in a day, and what else they are getting alongside that. Thanks!In the past I've fed ADM, so looking to change.

I feed purina enrich plus, beet pulp and rice bran. Supplements I feed FORCO, lysine and tight joints. I am thinking about switching to total equine though. I feed the recommended amount of purina enrich and rice bran and I feed 4 cups of beet pulp.

I'm feeding Blue Bonnet omega force roughly 4lbs a day per head. 2oz. Forco once a day and I'm finishing up a pail of this flax/chia supplement called radiance. One of my other horses is on Glazen 3 . They are on a decent quality round bale most of the day and get a good sized flake of alfalfa hay in the evening feeding. Oh and each get maybe a lb or so of soaked beet pulp in the am.

I feed 1lb of Renew gold per day. A $30 bag that is 30lbs lasts a month, so it saves a lot on the feed bill. Also feed Oxygen supplements

1lb Renew Gold, alfalfa/timothy pellets, and I'm using up my supply of liquid 747, Flex-n-action, and turmeric. I'm not thrilled so am trying to decide what I want to switch to when these are gone. 
One of mine absolutely will not eat the RG so he's on Ultium, which I do not love. He needs a new joint supplement too.
Both get alfalfa/grass cubes as a sorta special treat at night.

I have a local grain called LMF Gold that I feed, but only feed it for a base (couple handfuls) to put the Platinum Performance on. I swear by that stuff. 1 scoop 2x/day. I'd feed purina ultium if the LMF wasn't in my area. I loved that feed when I was in TX. You save a lot of $ on grain if you get a good complete supplement instead of feeding many lbs of grain/day.
ETA: 1 flake grass, 1/2 flake alfalfa 2x/day.
If I gave them as much grass as they wanted, by horses would be obese! Haha

Alfalfa and grass hay, and 1/2 lb renew gold. Need to decide on a supplement to support healthy joints and prolong injections. Haven't decided yet.

Tight Joints plus is a great product!

  I have been thinking about roasted to perfection or a combo of Woody's feed just to put as a base for my supplements. For the supplements, I was thinking about Formula 707 (daily and competition essentials) or platinum performance CJ. Does anyone on here feed Formula 707 and/or CJ?

Just switched from ADM to Purina Omalene 200, and I add in Forco, THE Muscle Mass, raspberry leaves, and a splash of veg. oil to bind the MM powder to the grain.

My horses will lick their feed tub clean. They love this mix and they look great.

We're feeding heritage professional with Forco right now. They get plenty of grass hay morning and evening. My three year old is also on Rejuvinaide (this is her last month) as she was just a bit sore in her growth plates. Our boy who was injured and underweight gets ranitidine and a probiotic and bute as needed. I'm thinking about switching them over to the Renew Gold. Our other horses are out on pasture currently and look great. Broodmares get Omelene 200 once a day (just a bit) and otherwise are out on pasture, free choice grass hay too.
