| Hello All,
Forgive me if there is already a thread on this, but I couldn't find one. I'm trying to do a bit of research on Renew Gold horse feed. It sounds like a great product but would really like to hear about others experiences using it. I have a horse with PSSM who also tends to colic at the drop of a hat and I'd like to switch her to it but I'm hesitant... Any advise?
Thanks! |

| I fed it and love it. I feed a lb of triple crown sr with it a day also. Call the Company and ask for Wynn. He is very knowledgeable and can help you with a feeding program . |

Location: My Own Little World | I really like it. The only issue I have with it is the ratio of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids is backward; although, I also feed THE and that balances it out. I really like the fact it's not a grain product that hypes my horse up |

| I have a hard keeper/ulcer prone/picky eater and he's never looked better. I give source minerals and Oxy-Max on top with a very high quality alfalfa. I'm extremely happy with the product and his temperament has even changed. He's a little more level headed and focused. My son's rope horse is 15.2 and weighs a whopping 1300#s, 1lb of renew has him looking better than ever and it sure as heck cuts down on the feed bill. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'm on my second bag and my horse looked great before starting it so I haven't seen a difference. Haven't decided if it is worth the expense since I only fed a pound of Triple Crown Senior a day so it is now more expensive feeding the Renew Gold. |

I just stopped all the other grain when it ran out and I fed 1 cup 2x a day for about a week then worked into 2 cups 2x a day (3 cups is 1 lb) I feed that extra cup because I have a couple really hard keepers that needed to gain quite a bit. When they get through all their health issues, I'll back them off a bit. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I have 4 horses and all 4 rejected it at first. I have one on it now and he eats it now. It has only been a couple of weeks so I too will be evaluating his progress. He's a very high strung horse so I'm hoping this feed helps calm him a bit. I love the fact that I have eliminated the molasses from his diet! |

| Ive been feeding 1.5 pounds to my barrel horses and have seen a huge change! My older gelding has filled out his topline and has become a different horse to be around in general. Calm in the alley and just nice to ride! I add a pound or a 1/2 pound (depending on the horse) of Impact 10-10, and their oxy max. They look better on this than they did when I was pouring other good quality feeds like Ultium into them. |

I'm really surprised they ordered it in for you. Typically corporate won't let them do that, but maybe due to the high volume of requests they have decided to make it available elsewhere. I have been able to get it, but i'm paying $40/bag.
Here in Texas, and the quality of the hay in my region being marginal, I did have to add in a feeding of soaked alfalfa pellets as well. I haven't seen a dramatic difference in how my horses look, if anything I had a few drop off before adding the alfalfa pellets, but i'm hoping with the addition of that, I see the results i'm hoping for. I do like the philosophy behind this product and hope it works for me. Sure would like that $29.99 a bag vs. the $40 i'm paying now! |

I wonder why they would have a problem ordering it? I just called and my feed is there waiting for us to pick it up today. |

The company I work for also sells TSC. Basically the stores aren't in charge of ordering for their individual stores.....all of that is done at HQ and all items are shipped from a DC. The store managers typically don't have the power to special order specific items into the store if the items aren't on the model. That's why i'm surprised they were able to get it in for you. Glad they did though....your TSC is way better than ours, as ours is always out of stock on anything I need! HAHAHA |

Thank you for explaining! I work in Supply Chain Management for large oilfield projects so I understand how it is stocking things from store to store, but I can order anything I need for any of our locations. I just assumed that TSC would be the same way. I told them that I had no problem paying up front if needed, they just asked how much I wanted and told me when it would arrrive.
I haven't been terribly impressed with the employees that work in that store when I have gone in, but the gentleman that I spoke to on the phone was very helpful. |

The TSC stores in South Dakota are the same way. They say its on a trial basis in certain parts of the country. |

They are the same nationwide. They have different store "models" across the country that determines what will go in each store. If an item isn't on the model, the store manager cannot order it specifically for that store. If you want to contact someone, it's probably best to call the HQ in Tennessee and express your interest in your local store carrying a certain product. |
