Nourish your equine friend with superior-quality nutrition by feeding her Tribute Essential K Horse Feed! This pelleted horse feed is designed and approved by Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists to balance rations for idle, growing and performance horses.

These healthy horse pellets are also formulated with Equi-Ferm XL microencapsulated active dry yeast that acts as a prebiotic and probiotic to improve your pal’s overall gut health!
Key Benefits- A dense nutrient concentration and low-calorie pellet creates a low-cost method of supplying the most critical nutrients.
- Low NSC may be beneficial for hyperactive or special needs horses, such as those with insulin resistance, laminitis, obesity or tying-up.
- Fortified with biotin to support healthy hoof growth and strength.
- Formulated with an optimal balance of essential amino acids, organic minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants to support dietary requirements and peak performance.

By Deedee on Jun 9, 2021
This was the closest I could find to Triple crown balancer at 28% protein and has everything necessary for their health. They love the taste as well.

Great for seniors
By Cookie18 on Dec 28, 2020
I have a 21 year old gelding whom I started to put on this ration balancer about 4-5 months ago. I have a friend out at my stables who recommended it to me. I can see a great difference between giving it to him. He has a softer coat, more energy than he used to, and he seems better off. I recommend this product.

Love Tribute!!
By RVSG on Dec 10, 2019
I was feeding essential K GCPLUS and couldn’t get it anymore from my feed store. So we switched to essential K, same feed without the joint trifecta. Love Chewy delivers right to my door and we LOVE Tribute products. My horses are healthy and happy. Low feeding ration, packed with nutrients. I’ve been feeding Tribute for many years. Haven’t looked back. Win win in my book. Highly recommend!

Great supplement for easy keepers
By evalarie77 on Nov 29, 2019
I love this feed. I fed this before moving to an area that had no Tribute dealers, and am so happy Chewy has it. I love it for making sure my easy keeping mustang still gets adequate nutrients without the added fat you get in most grains.

great stuff!
By Patcharoo on Jul 6, 2019
I haven’t gotten this through Chewy yet, but I did want to leave a review for others considering. My easy keeper QH (with navicular) does great on this ration. He has even lost a little weight, which I was thrilled about, and the only chance has been switching to this feed. He is 21 and doing great!

My mini horses absolutely love this feed! I only give small amounts because of their size, but they come running for it!
