Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

Honest Research. Unbiased Data.

Research is grounded in trusted, peer-reviewed sources rather than in-house studies. Unique ingredients are supported by scientific research and included at meaningful levels when used in formulas.

100% Horse Safe

Standard safety protocols are not enough. Risky ingredients, such as ionophores, are never allowed on the property. Ingredients are sourced exclusively from partners who share the same safety standards, ensuring there is no risk of contamination.

Built on Trust

Every ingredient is clearly listed by its true name, and formulas are locked to ensure consistency in every bag. Operating as a single-mill facility allows for rapid innovation without compromising the safety and quality horses deserve.

A Personal Approach

Building strong connections matters. That’s why Bluebonnet invests in private nutrition consultations, co-hosts community education events, and shares tools that empower owners to make informed decisions for their animals long after the first interaction.

About Bluebonnet Feeds

Since the early 1980s, safety and integrity have been at the center of everything Bluebonnet does. Every formula is science-backed, developed by in-house PhD nutritionists, and supported by a world-class team dedicated to making advanced nutrition simple and effective.

Quality feed

Horses eat it well. I like that it is alfalfa and beet pulp based. Only used it for 2 weeks so far on a young growing horse, who needs weight gain.

We put all of our young horses on this, but have two that were really behind on growth and needed a lot of weight when they got to our place. We have had both of those horses on it for less than a month and the rate of weight gain has been astonishing. We are very pleased with the product and will continue feeding it.
