| Omelene 200 is about the worst thing you can give a horse. 40 percent sugar!!! It’s an ulcer/hot mess waiting to happen. |

| I’m switching one of my horses to Dynasport right now.
Another is on Triple Crown balancer.
Yearling is on Ultium Growth.
All get high quality timothy and alfalfa. |

My yearling has done wonderfully on the Ultium Growth!! I’d say it’s worth a try! |

| I like Ultium, it’s my go to for a harder keeper or one that needs weight.
We feed ours Strategy, the new formula also has Outlast in it, which I was top dressing on a couple anyway.
We also supplement Platinum Performance. We noticed a huge bloom in them when we started that with Ultium, we decided to switch to Strategy and see what they did - $8-$10/bag difference and feeding 8-9 head between us and my in laws. Everyone maintained condition and performance when we made the swap. |

Lucedale, MS-
We have to drive at least 3 hours round trip for our feed, so I understand not having a big selection to choose from! We're considering changing to Blue Bonnet if the opportunity pans out. Right now we feed Purina. |

Which one of the Purina Feeds?
Purina Sr Active for my 23 year old and also our harder keeper Paint. The other 2 get Strategy Healthy Edge. They are all on Platinum CJ, and the Paint is on Forco and rice bran. |

| I can get Omelene 200 at a good price cause my niece works at a Feed Store- one of the previous replies said it was not good to feed due to sugar in it |

I know nothing about it, but the people who have answered you on this thread totally know their stuff, so listen to their advice!! Our horses are more pleasure, and they are just holding down the pasture right now, so the true barrel racers will lead you down the right path. Good luck finding a good feed in your area  |
