Location: Rocky Mountains | What are the best feeds on the market!? This is for horses that do quite a lot of work. I want a feed that aids in performance, condition, energy, health, and muscle growth more than most. If not all others hahah but not likely to ever truly come across that. Considering they all have there plus. And just for extra measurements what are the worst. Ones that you would avoid at all cost.
It doesn't matter if it's some feed that isn't sold in stores. If you can tell me about it go ahead!

Location: Arkansas | Have you checked recent threads on feed? Great info on the ones to avoid that are made in plants that are not ionophere free. |

Location: Missouri | I feed Renew Gold with Oxy max supplement and I could not be any more happier with the results. My horses look AMAZING. Both have dapples and shiny healthy coats. I haven't been able to ride much and they are both holding muscle very well and have plenty of energy and stamina. |

Location: Midwest | Triple Crown was one I loved, but I have heard they are having QC issues.
For Purina products, I preferred Ultium. Some say it will make a horse hot, but it did not have that effect on mine.
Mine is now on a 10 or 12% oats/tiny amount of corn mix with good grass hay or alfalfa hay (depending on what the barn gets in), ground flax, a mineral, and MSM. Plus, LOTS of pasture. Sometimes I throw in Healthy Coat. He looks great.
IME the forage quality is much more important than the grain you feed. |

Location: Kentucky | I fed TC for years but was having problems with their Senior blend so I switched to Tribute. I thought my horses looked good on TC, but Tribute has proved to trump that. They look amazing. I need to get some pictures of them. Never seen such pretty coats before. Plus they feel great.
Mine are on a dry lot now due to my broodmare, but have grass hay and the Tribute. They also get FORCO and THE.

Location: Southern Indiana | Tribute is an excellent feed. They even add in pre and pro-biotics. I would suggest Solutions 14 for what you are looking for. They also have several no corn or molasses formulas. |

Location: West Texas | Omnis Complete Performance, by Danco Forage, with no other hay or grain. It is the best feed we have ever fed, bar none. We have tried almost every feed imaginable. |

Location: Mi | I have fed Tribute and been a Tribute Dealer for 2 1/2 years, have 20+ horses on it ranging from our barrel racing and team roping horses, to a 30 you old retired one and have had sucess with Tribute with all of them. For what you are saying you are looking for I would feed Kalm Ultra its an a all pellet formula that horses cannot sort micronutrients, has extruded grains for improved digestion, higher fat, highly digestible fiber and lower sugar and starch for calm performances without loss of energy or condition, essential amino acid for muscle maintenance, esseinal fatty acids, omega 3 and 6, for healthy skin and haircoat, top performances and quick recovery along with optimum levels of antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Selenium reduce damage from aging and exercise and also boosts immunity. Its great for hard-keepers and horses requiring less sugar and starch in their diets, like those that are hyperactive or have metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, laminitis, ulcers, obesity or tying-up issues. Also has Equi-Ferm XLTM, microencapsulated active dry yeast; acts as both a pre-and probiotic, increases total diet digestibility and improves overall gut health. If your horse is an easier keeper and doesn't require the recomended feeding to stay at a good weight you can also use Essentail K or Essential K GC which is a ration balancer that will supply your horse will all the nutrients it requires without the fat, and a smaller amount. If you have questions or I can be of any help, please feel free to contact me. Good Luck!
