If an ingredient is not safe for horses, it’s simply not allowed on the property, and they source ingredients from facilities with the same strict protocol. Every delivery of raw ingredients is evaluated for quality and tested for toxins and mold prior to ever being unloaded, because you should never have to worry about your horse’s feed being accidentally contaminated.

My pony was suffering from dramatic weight loss and extremely dry, long coat. After four weeks on Equilene Complete Forage Extender, he has put on a significant amount of weight (but not too fast) and his coat is finally shedding, exposing a healthier coat underneath. I've never fed pellets before, so I was a little nervous at first, but I'm extremely pleased with it.

Last year my 24 year old QH gelding foundered and was also diagnosed with Cushings. We tried Prascend and he stopped eating. I had been body clipping him to remove excess hair. After two months on Equilene with limited pasture he's shed completely leaving a beautiful coat. He's filled out and muscled up again. And his hooves look great too. He loves the feed!

My horse was looking kind of poor over the winter. I put him on this in addition to a balancer and saw a difference. Now he gets just this as his grain. He is 15

My horse was looking kind of poor over the winter. I put him on this in addition to a balancer and saw a difference. Now he gets just this as his grain. He is 15 with great teeth so I didn't need it for that reason.

I have ordered this product on a couple of occasions (when I was in a bind) almost every time the food isn’t fresh (pellets are half the size they should be). My fed store bags are always fresh compared to bags ordered here.

I use this as a portion of my concentrates to keep the fiber content up. So far horses like it; so convenient re delivery as none of our local feed stores deliver anymore. Helps stretch the time between having to pick up more feed there!

Great price for the quality and ingredients

The pellets were a lot smaller than I was imagining for a complete feed. That is actually preferable for my 31 year old mare who loves it. She has only two teeth

The pellets were a lot smaller than I was imagining for a complete feed. That is actually preferable for my 31 year old mare who loves it. She has only two teeth left and happily enjoys her soup made from these pellets.
