Truly Field to Bucket Philosophy
Buckeye Nutrition believes the wholesome ingredients used in their formulas should follow the shortest path possible from the fertile North American fields where they are grown and harvested to your equine pal's feed bucket. This means that the ingredients maintain their optimum freshness and nutritional power come feeding time, offering the maximum health benefits for your horse's well-being. Thanks to trusted relationships with farmers, Buckeye Nutrition can help your pal enjoy the field-fresh nutrition he deserves, every day.
Science-Based Equine Nutrition
Every Buckeye Nutrition formula has been developed and lab-proven by expert equine nutritionists and professional animal scientists who know horses inside and out. Using a meticulous scientific approach, they labor in labs and test kitchens to bring your horse optimized, solution-based supplements and treats. These are backed by industry-leading research, and tailored to the diverse requirements of different breeds, horse types, and life stages—from the foal to the workhorse, athlete and farm companion.
100% Traceable Ingredients
Every ingredient in a Buckeye Nutrition treat or supplement can be traced back to its source—to the fertile Ohio soil where corn and soybeans are grown, or the Canadian plains where the premium oats are harvested. So you can trust that every soybean and kernel of corn or oat that goes into your horse's feed bucket has been grown with care, selected using the strictest quality standards and nutrient requirements, and sourced from only 100% traceable, certified suppliers in North America.
Stable-Proven Supplements
Buckeye Nutrition brings together supplements to meet the diverse needs of horse owners, from weight gain feed mix-ins for difficult feeders to electrolyte and mineral replenishment, milk replacers for growing foals, low-calorie nutritional support, and skin and coat enhancers. All of their research-proven formulations are developed under the guidance of equine nutritionists and contain no medicines, ionophores, mycotoxins, artificial flavors or competition-banned substances.
Treats for Esteemed Equine Tastes
Buckeye Nutrition knows that some horses have the pickiest tastes in the trails or fields, and that even during snack time, owners are conscientious about sound nutrition. That's why they formulate digestible and perfectly nutritious treats with no added sugar, and never any additives, preservatives or artificial flavorings. Whether as an everyday reward, during training, or to help promote healthy mobility with the joint support formula, your horse will love these tasty pellets.

Old mini likes
By Erin on Jan 11, 2022
Got this for my old mini because he can’t chew hay anymore and can’t have a lot of sugar/starch. It soaks pretty fast and he loves it. He lost a ton of weight when I was trying to transition him to different forage but has safely put it back on and looks great on this feed.

Great Quality & our ponies love it!
By Abby on Nov 16, 2021
I opened the bag and it smelled AMAZING. The extruded pellets soak so quickly in the mash for our boys it saves time and makes it much easier on our oldest senior to eat. We just started this about a week ago and both our boys are loving it! Excited to see the long term results for them both!

buckeye senior stinks
By PamS on Dec 27, 2021
Tried this because the other senior doubled in price - my horse hates it has a bad smell and totally wasted my money

He loves it
By horsey55 on Oct 1, 2021
My horse is a super picky eater. He loves this. He’s Cushings positive, but it’s well controlled with meds and a proper diet. This feed has proven itself to be the best for him.

Picky Eater Approved!
By MNGal on Jul 8, 2021
My 23 year old gelding is very picky but he really loves this feed! He is very picky about which apples he likes, but he will happily eat all of this apple flavored feed. It smells really good. I feed him twice a day and he is getting 5 lbs per day, so 2.5 morning and 2.5 evening. He has been on this feed for a little over a month now and his weight has improved a bit. I'm very happy that he will eat this feed and that he finishes all of it.

Horse loves it!

My senior gelding has trouble keeping weight on. He loves this feed. He didn’t care for the weight booster supplements we have tried in the past.

This Saved My Old Horse's Life
By PonyGirl on Apr 22, 2021
I have an old, old horse that gets super skinny and loses his hair every spring. He has no back teeth and lives on beet pulp. I just didn't think he was going to make it another year and somebody posted on a social network about this feed. I thought, like the hundreds of other things I had tried from fat builders, to oils that this was going to be another waste of money. But within 3 weeks, my horse gained weight and is chubby now! He looks like he did fifteen years ago. He has been on it for about a year and a half and with just two scoops a day (one in the morning and one at night) along with a bucket of water-soaked beet pulp each time, he has come through winter and spring like a ten-year-old.And I have an old, old horse that gets super skinny and loses his hair every spring.

Leroy loves his Buckeye
By Mulelady on Aug 6, 2020
My mule is 29 years old and needed a feed easy for him to eat Buckeye fit the bill. He licks his feeder clean. I am happy and so is my mule.

Good, but pellets were too big
By Jane on Apr 23, 2020
I had one younger horse and one older horse who both chocked (who have never chocked before) on this feed. I believe it’s because the pellets were very large. They chocked when it was dry and when I soaked it.

Picky eater approves!
By doggo on Feb 9, 2020
My older gelding has been hard to feed. This met all of my requirements, and he LOVES it. He is feeling so much better. He is putting weight back on and has a healthy energy back, not the chaotic energy the sugary senior foods were giving him. I also love that chewy has this. None of my local feed stores has buckeye, so I can have this shipped with my dogs stuff!
