Safe, On Purpose

Standard safety protocols aren’t enough for Bluebonnet Feeds and Stride Animal Health, so they take it a step further. 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.

Questions & Answers

7 Customer Questions


What is the sugar / starch content? Suitable for a horse with Cushing?

Answer by ChewyMar 29, 2021
This feed has a maximum starch and sugar content of 6%. As your pet's health care professional, their veterinarian is best qualified to decide if this feed is suitable for your individual pet.

What is the recommended feeding if fed as a complete feed without forage?

Answer by ChewyJul 19, 2024
This product may be fed as a replacement to forage for horses who are unable to consume hay. When being fed as a total diet the feeding rate is 1.5 to 2% of body weight, or in other words, feed 1.5 to 2 lb per 100 lb of body weight. If a horse weighs 1,000 lb the daily feeding rate would be 15 to 20 lb each 24 hours. This amount should be split up between 2, 3, or even 4 feedings if possible.

Is this feed safe to feed to a Metabolic Syndrome horse?

Answer by ChewyNov 27, 2023
This feed is metabolic friendly and has a low NSC%. It is suitable for horses with cushings, insulin resistant, and laminitis. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine if this recipe is safe for your horse.

Great product

My gelding bodie has been on this grain for years and it helps keep his coat looking shiny, he spits a little bit of it out, but eats most of it, and his overall

My gelding bodie has been on this grain for years and it helps keep his coat looking shiny, he spits a little bit of it out, but eats most of it, and his overall body condition looks great. I have had to add in an ulcer supplement and hoof supplement though, since this supplement didn’t seem to improve the hooves that much and I did the ulcer supplement as added support during travel.

My girl is a 10 year old AQHA and has terrible stomach issues and we have fought ulcers and being underweight. I did ALOT of research and was recommended this feed.

Great food! Easy to soak, small pellets and fresh!

The pellets are smaller than other pelleted feeds, and they are nice and soft. They don't have to be soaked, but I do soal them for my senior girl and they soak

The pellets are smaller than other pelleted feeds, and they are nice and soft. They don't have to be soaked, but I do soal them for my senior girl and they soak very nicely. The bags smell nice and fresh as well.
