What I’ve been looking for!

My 17 year old Rocky mare was purchased as a yearling. Straight away I knew something was wrong. Refused to move (not being stubborn) stiff gait stumbly. Back

My 17 year old Rocky mare was purchased as a yearling. Straight away I knew something was wrong. Refused to move (not being stubborn) stiff gait stumbly. Back then none of the vets in my area had PSSM on any radar. Fast forward to the past 10 years and I had been on my own journey trying to figure her out. Up until a few years ago it was impossible to feed her commercial feed. Everything was loaded with starches and sugars. Even straight oats were too much starch. This feed has been a Godsend for me. She gobbles it up and I’ve been slowly increasing the amt to get her up to at least 6 cups a day (3 and 3) she has been a reliable mount inbetween her “bouts” but since on this feed, she walks around like she owns the place!

Horse Wouldn't Eat It

This feed has a VERY strong smell, and my horse refused to eat it. I could barely stand to smell it too.
