What is the best buckeye formula feed for a 17 year old horse who has foundered?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 09, 2020
Horses with laminitis or founder should have limited access to lush pasture that may be high in sugar and starches. If the horse is obese or maintains weight easily, GRO 'N WIN or Safe 'n Easy should be fed. If the horse requires additional calories for body condition or performance, EQ8 Gut Health or EQ8 Senior should be fed.

what is the % starch and sugar in this feed?

Answer by Chewy • Feb 12, 2021
This formula has an NSC of approximately 12.5% maximum.

Due to drought we have a hay shortage in Washington state. Is this feed safe as an only food source for horses and a mini? Aged from 10-26.

Answer by Chewy • Jul 17, 2021
This complete feed is ideal for horses/ponies with poor teeth or those with limited forage in their diet. Please follow the feeding instructions when feeding without forage. Feed according to the amounts shown below, which are based on the weight of your horse/pony and level of work. The following chart references the amount of Safe N Easy Complete to feed in pounds per day when fed without forage as the sole source of nutrition. When being fed as a complete feed, Safe N Easy Complete should be fed at no more than 0.5% of the horse's body weight per meal. For example, for a 1,100 pound horse, feed no more than 5.5 pounds per meal. Therefore, approximately four to six small meals should be fed throughout the day. Safe N Easy Complete may be soaked to increase ease of consumption. Soaking is optional.

The description says 1.5 lbs per 1100 pound horse. Now is that per feeding? or is it per day?

What a difference!

My 20 year old mare has dealt with laminitis her whole life but this summer she suddenly dropped a lot of weight! The vet said her teeth were getting flat but shouldn't

My 20 year old mare has dealt with laminitis her whole life but this summer she suddenly dropped a lot of weight! The vet said her teeth were getting flat but shouldn't be the problem, she came back clean for worms...so I went on a quest adding a supplemental feed that was low in Nsc's, didn't have oats, corn or molasses and wasn't a hard pellet. First I tried Nutrena SafeChoice Senior Molasses Free Horse Feed, 50-lb bag and liked it but wasn't seeing much change. Then I put her on this feed, 1 scoop twice a day. She really likes it and by the second bag I was seeing actual results! She is currently on 2 scoops twice a day because we are going into winter (we live in the South now but still get ice and a tiny bit of snow) I definitely recommend this for horses with laminitis issues or just hard keepers!

Bought this for 3 horses. 24yr, 18yr, and 9 yr old. They love the taste. It is maintaining weight. But best of all. The two hottest horses are much calmer. The 24 year old has walked the entire trail rides the last two times. She almost never walked! Nick named “the fire breathing dragon” by people who have known her for years. She is a true pleasure to ride now! Even “Mr spooky” is more relaxed! I didn’t choose this food for that benefit. I had tried “calm and easy” years ago with absolutely no results. So I gave up on hoping food would make a difference. But this food does! They were previously on Timothy pellets and soybean meal before. I will stick with this food and the price is reasonable.

Low sugar

Sugar is the real culprit for horses, especially when you have a diabetic mustang. So this is just what she needed!!

I have a 22 yr old gelding who absolutely loves this feed. I mix it with unbeetable stable mix too but I really appreciate the quality, price, and how ideal the pellets are. They also absorb water very nicely. Highly recommend.

She can be picky

She liked it but it did not put weight on her like I had hoped. Trying a different feed. Never had an old horse before
