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. Plus, they're made with 100% traceable and North American sourced ingredients like apples, carrots, steamed oats and peppermint oil.

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 caddy91 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!

My senior horse loves it
By Wendy on Apr 19, 2020
I started my senior horse on this feed and he loves it. He has put on weight and I love that Chewy delivers it to my door.

My horse loves it, but it’s never in stock
By 3LabMom on Sep 25, 2019
Chewy, you’re my favorite place for all things pets, but if you’re going to supply horse feed you need to understand that switching feed for horses is a much more involved process than it is for dogs and cats. Switching horses can take weeks in some cases, and we don’t have the option of just feeding something else when our regular feed is out of stock. Abrupt changes can cause life threatening colic! I just switched my senior horse over to this, and now it’s been out of stock for weeks. Thankfully I bought 2 bags and I’m slowly switching him back to his previous grain because I can’t take a chance on when you’ll have this again.

Not my horse approved...
By Moonluv13 on Sep 10, 2019
I'm disappointed...so is my gelding who turned his nose right up at this when he sniffed the bag! Usually he is eagerly standing over me and a newly opened bag of feed...not this time, he turned and walked away! Even when mixed into his Sentinel Senior feed he shifts through it and this pale colored pellet remains behind uneaten. I have to agree with Sudan that it doesn't smell appetizing at all.

Stormy LOVES this feed!
By Stormy on Sep 20, 2019
I am feeding 4 pounds a day to my 9 year old gelding. He loves this feed and can't wait for me to put it in his pan. It smells good and is very palatable. His overall condition has improved and his skin/coat are shiny. Ordering on Chewy is so convenient and the shipping is free.

Hard to find??? Chewy's got it!!!
By DesertRider on Nov 12, 2019
Its hard for me to find Buckeye products. Safe N'Easy is a great senior feed as I prefer low NSC for my horse. Economical and fast shipping.

THANK YOU CHEWY
By dogmomof3 on Aug 24, 2019
I have always loved Buckeye feeds. My 30 year old horse loves this food and it puts weight on like a dream. But my local dealer went out of business and the closest was over 3hrs away. I’m so happy I can finally buy this again! Thank you Chewy!!!!
