Omnis dealer? You might contact them. There is a need for dealers in the southeast. |

I feed Equishine per my vet. My horses have never looked better. I give alfalfa pellets, whole flax seed, equishine, and Excel ( which is stomach and hindgut supplement, love it) |

Understand. I just fed baled alfalfa and a small amount of whole oats with either a cup of flax seed or BOSS before that. I fed about a pound of whole oats once a day. The Omnis were an easy transition for me because they are exactly what I was already feeding, just cubed. Do you have access to a different kind of cube or baled alfalfa? If I had to narrow my horse's diet down to one thing they wouldn't go without, it would undoubtedly be quality alfalfa. |

I pasture board normally, and there is always a roundbale of coastal hay in the pasture. She gets a 12/10 pelleted feed 2x daily also. However, she came down with ulcers, so I switched her to stall board (turnout during the day, stall at night), so I could monitor her eating better and give her time to eat 2 flakes of alfalfa each night, along with more coastal hay. She's looking better already, but we are only on day 15 of Abgard (omeprazole) treatment. I can't really change things TOO much being in a boarding situation. I could switch her to just alfalfa but she could only have access to it at night while stalled. I couldn't throw it out into the pasture because the others would eat it. |
