Location: North Dakota | rolled oats and barley about 4 pounds per horse to 3 head
i have a picky horse that eats woody's sweet 12 3 pounds
i have a big framed harder keeper that gets 3 pounds oats and barley and 2 pounds either woody's sweet 12 or summer heat.
All 5 get 1 cup flax, 1 tb lecithin (choline for a healthy gut) and 1 small scoop of stateline tack multivitamins. Grass mix hay. Salt and mineral block.
I really like buying bulk feed from the mill, usually 1500#'s at a time I usually mix the oats/barley 60/40 no molasses because it keeps a lot longer than with molasses though my horses prefer it with the molasses. Flax for hair and feet.
If I had no worries about money I would have all of them on Woody's, I'm very impressed with the quality of product, it does what it says! |

Location: Pacific Northwest | The mare I run the most gets Ultium (but not the full amount, she doesn't really like a lot of grain) and then for supplements she gets Horse Guard multivitamin, Tight Joints Plus, SmartGut Ultra and Mega-Sel (she was on that when I bought her, they said she had a selenium deficiency).
Everyone else gets a mix of beet pulp, dry cob and Horse Guard multivitamin. They're easy keepers and actually don't need grain at all. The gelding that I used to run/am trying to still run (he's accident prone) also gets Ultium when he's being ran, and he still gets Tight Joints Plus.
And they all get a lot of local grass hay.
Mine are all easy keepers except for the mare, though she's definitely not a hard keeper AS LONG as she eats. If she starts to drop weight and stops wanting to eat her food I treat her with UlcerCureOTC and she will within a few days go back to eating like normal. Pretty much anything sets off her stomach - like recently she had pulled back at the trailer and got herself all body sore and it took a combination of treating her for ulcers and massage/adjustments to get her to start eating again. |
