Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions

Does this feed need to be fed wet?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 02, 2026
Bluebonnet Feeds Limited Ingredient Forage Balancer Horse Feed does not need to be fed wet to normal horses. If a horse has poor dental condition that requires all food to be made into a mash, then this feed should be handled the same.

Does this feed have any added iron?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 29, 2024
This feed has an iron content of 250.00 parts per million (ppm).

Is this a ration balancer?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 04, 2024
This is a ration balancer. When fed at label directions, it is intended to balance the mineral and vitamin deficiencies typical of hay and forage.

So far, so good.

I bought this for my horse that foundered recently at nearly 30. There’s just too much information and opinions on what to feed and not feed a horse with laminitis

I bought this for my horse that foundered recently at nearly 30. There’s just too much information and opinions on what to feed and not feed a horse with laminitis. A dry lot and steaming hay is not an option as much as I’d like it to be, but I have him on supplements and I took him off his soy based food. There’s not a lot of choices for horse feed free of soy, corn, molasses and other inflammatory ingredients. So far he is eating the food with no issue. I haven’t had a problem (yet?) with it being powdery like others have, but I’m only 1 bag in. I don’t really like leaving reviews this early because you can’t update them later, but for now he’s doing well on it.

I'm happy to find a limited ingredient forage balancer

I mix a measured scoop into wee Elizabeth's beet pulp mashes every day, she can be fussy, but hasn't minded the additional texture in her bowl.

Limited ingredients and soy free

This is my 13 yr old Rocky mare that I have had for 2 yrs. She's a wonderful horse, but is a bit on the chunkie side with the crested neck that began this year

This is my 13 yr old Rocky mare that I have had for 2 yrs. She's a wonderful horse, but is a bit on the chunkie side with the crested neck that began this year. Due to her not being pregnant but on and off lactating, I did some research and read that this could be a possible sign of pre-cushingoid or at least metabolic. I was feeding TC balancer but found that soy is a huge culprit in stimulating or adding estrogens, and also alfalfa. So, cutting out soy is a must and very very limited alfalfa. I switched to this balancer for that reason (no soy, limited ingredients), good quality, easy to acquire thanks to Chewy (TC products are difficult to get around here) and I love balancers due to the low feed rate. I've known for many years that soy is highly inflammatory for animals and people. Don't know why I ignored that. Anyway, I just started my two horses on this balancer 3 days ago and will see how they respond. The first day they were real picky on eating it, the second day, gobbled it down. I am feeding a pound to each daily along with 1/2 cup Omegahorseshine, the Essential vitamin from Dr. Depaolo and the personal supplement that was put together for the mare for her toxicities via Dr. Depaolo's hair analysis.

Fresh ingredients, palatable and smaller pellets

I love the ingredients in this product and my horses love it too. I had my horses and a few others in the barn sample it for taste and each one liked it! The pellets are smaller than other brands and does not have to be soaked but I soak them for my gelding. The bags always smell nice and fresh, unlike another popular brand.

I bought this feed because it is forage based and allergy free. It is made from quality ingredients, no wheat mids (chaff), no soybean hulls (pods, shells). Those junk ingredients used to be discarded and plowed back into the soil.

Good Ration Balancer

My horse found it palatable. My one complaint is that there’s a lot of powder in the bag which my horse won’t eat, leading to wasted product. It’s also more expensive

My mare is a very easy keeper. This provides the proper nutrients for her with her hay. Gives her the Bluebonnet shine, too.

This feed is very palatable for my horse. He hasn’t lost any Topline since switching from Unbeetable complete. He requires low nsc do I like that u can give him two pounds of this feed and he gets all the vitamins and minerals he needs.
