Crypto Aero Wholefood Gluten Free, Non-GMO Horse Feed, 25-lb bag

I have 2 horses. A rescue Belgian and my mare who I’ve owned since she was a yearling, she is 15 now. After a few weeks on this feed, the Belgian began to get dapples. I was happy but assumed he was prone to them. My mare has been spoiled and coddled her whole life but never had a single dapple. I thought because of her coloring/breeding she just wouldn’t get them. A short time after the Draft, her black got dark as pitch (during summer, when she would normally be a little bleached out) and she started getting dapples too! I was amazed. Nothing else changed except this feed. plus, I’m not paying for costly vitamin supplements anymore except a selenium one (which I recommend in selenium poor I have 2 horses.

My boyfriend and I recently purchased our first horse who is a strikingly handsome bay OTTB. I’ve always been big into buying the best food I can find for all of my animals and he is no exception, when I came across Crypto Aero and how closely it compared to his current feed I had to try it out. I purchased two 25lbs bags and bagged it all up today and wow! As I was bagging and weighing them I could see the cabbage, rose hips, alfalfa and timothy pellets, and most importantly the papaya chunks. I was very skeptical of how the feed would look, but if you give the bag a good shake side to side before you start portioning it out it dispersed all of the heavier things that sink to the bottom (aka My boyfriend and I recently purchased our first horse who is a strikingly handsome bay OTTB.

I gave my boy a bag while I finished up sorting it all out and weighing it and he sucked it down in a heartbeat and was completely happy with this new feed. That alone made me ecstatic! *However* I weighed each bag as I went and I only ended up with 44 bags...but I bought two 25lbs bags of feed. So I feel kind of cheated a bit as I expect to get what I paid for and I paid to get 50 1lbs bags out of this purchase and only got 44. Six measly bags may not sound like much, but when you’re a struggling college student working her tail off to provide the best for her new horse, every little bit counts and I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get all 50 I was hoping for. I will be buying this again and again as it is comparable as far as the analysis to the other big name brand I was buying but soooo much better for my boy, but I will be a bit sour as I continue my purchases as I won’t be getting every little bit that I paid for. Will update with photos once I’ve used it enough!! … more

I finally found a healthy supplemental feed that I can give her probiotics in and not have to add a ton of unhealthy stuff to get her to eat it. She LOVES this grain and I can give medicine mixed in no problem.

My equine body worker recommended this for my OTTB since his grain was pretty minimal. I opened the bag and was surprised to see it contained mostly oats and a few sprinklings of alfalfa pellets. The feed I received wasn’t like the picture at all. For a 25-Ib bag of mostly oats, I won’t be buying this again.

I started my 19 year old mare on this feed about 3 months ago. I wanted something that was as natural as possible. She was previously in a “good” commercial feed but after tons of research I knew there were better options. It wasn’t cost effective to blend my own natural feed. So then I found crypto and I was so happy to find that chewy carried it! I’ve seen fantastic results. My girl started getting her winter coat in early. She’s fluffy and much more calm. Her skin issues have improved but we are still working on finding the underlying cause. It took her a little while to figure out she wasn’t going to be getting her usual molasses drenched feed. But once she adjusted, she loves it. She licks I started my 19 year old mare on this feed about 3 months ago. I wanted something that was as natural as possible.

She gets 2 cups twice a day which for me equals a total of 2lbs per day. It’s more expensive but it lasts. Don’t hesitate, just try it and be patient. You’ll see the results! For those saying it’s mostly oats, maybe it’s just that particular bag because I’ve always seen all the variety of ingredients. I feel great knowing I’m giving my mare the absolute best! … more

They love it ...Amazing !!!!! My one Paso fino is a total diva with feed ...add anything she don't like and she trashes her feed bucket and walks off .Had been feeding a balancer with free choice costal hay and they looked great but the hoofs where lacking and my girl was ouchy ( previous mechanical founder ) and tends to gain weight .If this was cheaper i would continue to feed to my 3 but at the cost it's not something i will be able to continue but for the people who are flush with $$$$ or maybe 1 horse it would be a keeper .It doesn't look like the picture but it is nice and clean ...going back to straight whole oats and call it a day

I have fed this for over a year. My farrier has noticed a difference in my mare's feet. Her coat is much shinier and smoother throughout the entire year, even with a winter coat! I love being able to feed so much less food than others in my barn who don't have their horses on Crypto Aero.

I was very impressed with the reviews Crypto Aero received. I feed many different supplements, and figured it all out money-wise, and it wood be far more efficient to feed my 13 yr Quarter Horse gelding the Crypto Aero Wholefood Horse Feed than all the others combined. I will still be using the 'feed-thru-fly-control' product during the Summer, as always. Sham has been on the Crypto Aero feed for 2 weeks or so now. I do see a difference in his coat shine - even with the heavy Winter fuzz coming in! And his attitude is changing... For the BETTER! I plan to keep him on Crypto Aero, and hope that "Chewy.com" can start supplying this awesome product in the 50# bags. And, I was very impressed with the reviews Crypto Aero received.

I was looking for a feed for my insulin resistant horse and this was recommended. He loves it and he is gaining the weight he lost. The convenience of having it delivered is Wonderful as I live in a rural area and it's over 30 miles to the nearest feed store.

I just got this today, so I probably should wait to post to see how they do on it, but I figure this is still important to post about and I'll be sure to update it as we go. What I've noticed is it is mostly oats... very little of the other ingredients can be seen which is kind of disappointing for the price. If this ends up working well maybe I'll consider purchasing again but at this point I don't think I will be
