Currently I'm using blue bonnet omega force and I love it but feeding 5 horses ... I'm feeling the pinch. I actually have one horse on the renew gold right now she looks just as good as the boys on the OF. so I was thinking I might be able to cut back a little by putting everyone on the rg. We feed BB Omega Force and have cut WAY back since we started feeding the Omnis cubes. Some of our horses only get 2# of Omega Force twice a day and most don't get any at all. Are you feeding any hay ? Because that's what I'm wanting to replace with the omnis. I'm really only feeding the hardest keepers 4lbs PER DAY of the OF right now. My easy keeper is only getting 2lbs PER DAY. if I can cut back even more that'd be great.
We are using Omnis cubes as a replacement for Alfalfa hay for our horses in stalls. Many of ours are out on pasture, but I have one that only gets Omnis cubes...no other hay or feed and he looks great. I posted pictures of him earlier in this thread. He's a bay roan. |

Location: Willows, CA | We have quite a few horse owners who feed RG along with hay cubes with great success. If you are feeding a combination of cubes and coastal you really get a lot more out of the coastal by using the cubes to slow the hind gut down along with the prebiotic in the RG and no hind gut disruption because of the lower concentrate amount you are now feeding. This gives the system more time to digest the tougher grass hays more completely without excess starch causing an ineffeciency. I have fed a lot of cubes over the years, and if they are not super hard there should be no coke risk. Don't feed cubes in a feeder that is high off of the ground. If you feed them low to the ground so the horse eats in a more normal posture you should be fine.

We will not be buying any baled alfalfa this year either....and it's so nice! The Omnis cubes are the easiest forage we have ever been able to travel with. Hotbox stands quietly at the trailer now munching on her cubes instead of destroying lead ropes with her nervous cribbing  |

| I gave up on coastal a while ago because I just couldn't get any. I'm hoping to soon but who knows with all that flooding my source hasn't been able to do anything. So I've just been feeding straight alfalfa for several months. The omnis cubes should be here Saturday. I'm looking forward to trying them out. |

Yes, she is rarely unattended....She's my daughter's little princess. These truly are the softest cubes I've ever seen. I've been keeping an eye on all of the horses since I've never fed cubes before and they are all eating very quietly and slowly even in groups. You don't hear them biting into them at all or hear them break. |

You can put them in a bucket on the trailer, stall, or fence and leave tied the same way you would feed grain or a hay bag. We use wall feeders at the barn and put them in the grain bin portion.
I never leave a horse tied long to eat off of the ground. I have always thought that was a good way to get them hurt, if left unattened. These cubes do not need to be fed at ground level. Some cubes, I agree that it is best if you do, but not Omnis or Mustang Sally.
Ditto, I don't tie long either. I will probably still hang hay bag with coastal. |
