I'm sure I'll get lots of differing opinions on this BUT..... For anyone who's had a horse with EPM, what diet changes and/or supplements have you found that help? I can't afford any kind of $2 per day supplements right now, but I'd sure like to know if there's a certain feed out there that seems to help support the immune system. I've been doing research online, but it's all overwhelming! It seems like every site I'm on is just pushing a certain brand of feed. I know you get what you pay for, but I have three kids, four horses, dogs, and goats so it's not like this horse is the only animal I'm paying to feed and care for..... Thanks in advance.

This is what I feed. A 14% pellet and enough of it and Platinum Performance. I feed by body weight and I have big horses. I usually feed 4 pounds in the morning and 4 pounds in the evening with one scoop of Platinum at night. I feed one flake of alfalfa and about three flakes of coastal split between morning and evening. So basically feed and hay with Platinum. My horses are not in stalls.

This is what I feed everyday anyway.


I have a question. Do you have barn cats?

I think the most important things I feed my EPM horse is Purina Super Sport and the Performance supplement with the EPM formula added by T.H.E
