MY OTTB IS DOING GREAT
By delaney on May 11, 2020
We have been struggling with my ottbs weight for quite some time now. My trainer recommended we put him on a weight supplement. My assistant trainer recommended this one. He been on it for about a month now and he has gained a considerable amount of weight. He gets 1.5 scoops of grain in the A.M. , 1 scoop in the afternoon, and 1.5 scoops in the P.M. (along with free choice hay and turn out). Even with all of that he was considerably underweight. After adding the supplement ,in just a month, I’ve gotten a million questions asking how I did it. I noticed a difference in under two weeks. He works six days a week and competes a considerable amount with me in the 1m jumpers.

Helps put on weight with OTTB
By lizzie on May 6, 2020
My daughter got an OTTB from a thoroughbred rescue who was very underweight and it turned out had ulcers ( common in OTTB). Treating for the ulcers and putting her on Ultimate Finish has made quite a difference in 6 months.

Excellent high fat supplement

High quality nutrition for weight maintenance in older or very active horses with a good fatty acid and protein profile. I very much appreciate Chewy carrying this quality brand of food at a great price point.

Awesome supplement
By Heidi on Oct 27, 2019
This supplement is awesome! When I discovered it, I was desperate to find a way to put weight on my senior gelding. I had tried so many other feeds and supplements. I had his teeth done and I had the vet do tests. It appeared my gelding was in perfect health, except for his weight. One day i was looking for beet pulp so I stopped at a small feed store. The owner explained she did not carry beet pulp but recommended the ultimate finish. I was desperate and even though it was pricey I bought it. I am impressed with the improvement of my horses. I have now switched all of my horses to a buckeye feed. I love how it's easy for my old man to eat and he just loves it! No more soaking beet pulp. No more This supplement is awesome!

If you need to put weight on your horse ultimate finish is a great choice. If your just looking for healthier options for your horses feed, check out other buckeye products. You will not be disappointed! … more

Smells great, very hard kibbles though
By feathersnwhiskers on Aug 30, 2019
Opening the bag, this stuff smells terrific! They are not regular horse pellets, they are super hard like dog food. I purchased this with the intention of getting some weight on my older gelding. He eagerly sniffs them, but spits it out - maybe due to how hard the pellets are? He normally does not refuse anything that is edible. My fat pony loves them, so he gets a handful or two as a treat to use the bag up.

Buckeye for the win!
By dogmomof3 on Aug 15, 2019
I’ve always loved Buckeye feeds but my local dealer quit! I’m glad Chewy carries at least some of the buckeye line! My senior and middle age horses do great on this! I always recommend Buckeye.

Helped my mare through the winter
By Brooke on Jul 18, 2019
This product helped my mare keep weight on during the winter. She is a hard keeper and a picky eater, so I was thrilled that she loved this grain and that it worked to keep her weight up. I will purchase again next winter.
