| I feed a 14% pellet (about $13.75 a sack), Platinum Performance, and a handful of salt. My broodmares do not like Platinum so they get Gro Strong minerals--free choice. I have tried every supplement out there and have used each for 6-12 months so I have given each a fair chance. Platinum seems to work best for me. That is it.FEED, PLATINUM, SALT. My horses look fantastic. I will have to look for some before pictures because I have basically fed this for years. I took an old broodmare to the vet and everyone in the clinic said "Wow" when she walked in. There were about 10 people there that had come from the track. Just took my 19 year old gelding to the vet and the vet could not believe the horse was that old. I have had him about 14 years. I would say my feeding program works. Guess I better add that I do feed a quality coastal hay in the winter (square bales). I have enough grass in the summer.
THE used to advertise that Bob Baffert used their products but he has a picture of American Pharoah and a testimony in the Platinum magazine. Guess he jumped ship.

| Oats, free choice salt and mineral unless it's really cold, then we put a scoop of the mineral in their feed to make sure they get it/encourage drinking. When it's cold cold we do free choice hay in chix nets grass/alfalfa mix, otherwise they get 2-3 flakes 2x's a day.
I'm debating supplements for mine when we start going hard again...just not sure what I want to do/need to do and don't want to just throw money away.
They all look good, don't really have before/afters since they didn't look terrible before. We adjusted the feeding program based on cost. |

Location: Opelousas, LA | Used to feed Omnis, now I feed alfalfa and renew gold, having about the same results with both. This was a mare that was headed to the sale barn, took about four months to get her back looking good.

Like I said I have have used them all. Used THE for a couple of years and when I switched to Platinum about five years ago I just I got better results. I do not blanket and my horses are shiny even with long hair. Broodmares get Gro Strong minerals and everyone at the vets could not believe how good my 20 year old mare looked and everything at the vet's that day was a thououghbred from LA Downs. Really, the point is that I don't add much to what I feed. |

Location: ND | I keep things really simple, all my horses have access to loose salt & mineral, pasture during the summer & really good grass hay during the winter. That is ALL that most of them get.
During the summer when I'm riding hard & competing Quigley, my shooting horse gets oats & MagRestore every day.
The weanling filly and the broodmare get oats.

Location: Montana | Fat, LOL. No current pics, been too cold. But I just feed good hay, very little grain, and a good salt/mineral block (and I switch back and forth between two different kinds of mineral blocks to make sure they get what they should). Then in the summer they get free choice pasture, no added hay with little grain. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | I usually feed whole oats with a vitamin, salt, beer pulp, flax and coco soya oil, but right now I'm switching a new one over from
Seminole wellness a 14/12 to oats. Mine get alfalfa cubes at night for water intake (have one that won't drink) free choice salt/mineral blocks, lots of coastle hay in a slow feed hay net and one flake of alfalfa or t&a.

Location: Oklahoma | I don't like posting this picture. This mare was sucked dry by her filly and we weaned the filly at 4 months because of it. 1st picture is the mare right after foaling (May 2016), then August 2016, and then Nov 2016. We feed free choice bermuda round bales and alfalfa pellets twice a day. While she had the filly on her side she was getting Safe Choice Mare and Foal and alfalfa pellets and we couldn't keep weight on her.

Location: MN | So the first pic is a before pic, what he usually looks like. Next two pics are before and afters. Top pics are the effects of the Anaplasmosis. He looked horrible. Lost all of his topline and most of his muscle and definition. Poor thing had such a hard time recovering from that. He had been on Triple Crown Complete and Alfalfa. The next 2 before and afters : 1lb Purina Enrich +, Exceed 6 Way and unlimited alfalfa/grass hay. Middle pic was 3 months on Exceed and the 3rd pic was a full year on Exceed. Im pretty happy with the comback he's made :)
