Location: Beggs, OK | There are many different types of feed under the Bluebonnet label. To say that your horse wouldn't eat it is very short sighted.
We've been very pleased with the Intensify line and are feeding our yearlings the Intensify Growth feed. Now that my horses are all on Omnis Complete Performance cubes I have my old horses on Intensify Omega Force as extra calories rather than the high fiber Senior feed that they were on before. Omega Force is fed at a much lower recommended rate and is very high in calories, but still a soft pellet that my old horses can eat it. |

How much of it are you having to feed? |

We don't feed over 4# a day of the Omega Force. |

Is that with horses in a medium/heavy workload? Just curious as I'm going to start feeding it. |

Mine did not like the hardness of the pellet. But wetting it solved the problem and since I add beet pulp it makes it easy |

Start with minimum and work up if you need too you really don't need a lot of this feed if you have good forage |

You need to tell my horses that they are the problem not me. I really doubt that they would listen because they seem to be more than a little opinionated. I just went in the feed store and bought what they suggested. |

| I love them honestly. I have a hard keeping mare that is on 5lbs intensify plus grass hay and a little bit of alfalfa per day and she looks great, even while hauling hard you can't begin to see her ribs.
In the past I have tried renew gold (had to feed to much of it), nutrena pro force fuel (she went off it after a month on it) and nutrenas balancers empower boost and balance. I did like that stuff a lot but with the ionophore scare, I wanted something the I knew was 100% safe so I went ahead and switched.
I have only had 1 horse that did not bloom and look marvelous on it and honestly, after 2 weeks of omeprazole and FORCO he started to look amazing so I don't blame the feed at all.
The growth formula will put weight on my yearlings in a matter of a week. I really, really like it for them.
Hope this helps :) |

Location: NE Texas | It is a very concentrated feed. I fed it for a few months before finding Cur-Ost and changing over to whole oats. I was feeding at least 4 lbs daily (split into 2 servings of course) and am now down to one pound of whole oats once daily to mix in my Cur-Ost, and my horse looks better than ever. Through this process, I have learned that healing the hind gut will allow for better nutrient absorption so that the horse is actually able to utilize what we're feeding them. My concern with most commercial feeds are the synthetic ingredients (vitamins/minerals) added to balance the ration. This is something I have learned over the process of the last several months as well. Through research, it is proven that synthetics actually contribute to leaky gut syndrome and hind gut issues.

Cut-Ost and one pound of Renew Gold, check teeth and you are good to go. No synthetic added ingredients. Very potent antioxidant support and upper GI tract help from coconut. We have a lot of horses going to this. |

Unfortunately Herbie and I had the same experience with Renew Gold. Just didnt work for us, but sure wish it had! My horses as well are on just very small amount of oats and curost and they look a million times better than they ever have on any feed with very little of anything other than good hay. |

You are right about good hay, or good hay support in the form of a cube like Cur-Ost and, more importantly, the horses ability to digest it. As we have discussed a number of times, there was something else going on with your horses and the shedding problem that you had at the time. We have not had that issue with Renew Gold in any other horses, ever, over four years and half a million bags fed. The fact that you had several horses that had the issue at the same time clearly points to something else going on at that time. There is no way to get anywhere near the nutritional support from a pound of oats that you get from a pound of the all natural ingredients used to make Renew Gold because of the higher digestible energy and the way it fits the horses digestive system. Now, I have nothing against oats at a small rate like that, and I use them in some of the diets that we do. My point was simply that boosting the base roughage quality with a very high quality cube in a horse that has proper mouth condition to comfortably chew them and their long hay, if used, along with RG fits the way a horse works inside. If your diet needs more than the recommended amount of renew gold to maintain condition and energy, there is either a lack of roughage quality, amount, or ability to digest it. Those issues are usually pretty easy to identify and fix. A cube like the Cur-Ost product can be a great way to address that, and I was simply saying that a lot of customers are using that combination and having a very positive result. The answer is never more and more Renew Gold. The answer is better natural use of the roughage part of the diet. |

Cur-Ost is an immune boosting supplement that comes in powder form, you might be referring to the Omnis Cubes that we've been discussing. |

I was referring to the Omni Cube. One of those days at the office. We have fed with Cur-Ost with very good result. There is some great technical info on their web site. The article on Omega 3/6 relationship is a very important read for those who are fixated on Omega 3 only.
