Tribute feed

This is hands down the best feed. I have owned horses for 46 years and Tribute feeds by far out performs the other feeds I have used. It sure puts a nice bloom on my horses without getting them hot.

awesome for my easy keeper

my mare loves her food, i add water and it melts great. she only get a little over 1lb a day but split between 3 meals (my other horse needs 3 meals). i researched a lot to find a food for my mare that was ionophore free (why buy toxic food?) with a low feeding amount. she has been eating this for a few months now and looks "hot to trot"! this food smells great too! My mare was eating a low quality horse food from a local feed store (my other horse has "came" with the food..so i kept him on it and fed it to her too) but the appearance of the food started to change and when i looked into it i found that most horse food does not have "locked" ingredients and what i was seeing is a change with the ingredients... and all my research led me back to tribute essential k. the local feed store or the large chain store did not have this food, and so here i am at chewy and this is the product that brought me to chewy. i love that i have horse feed delivered to my door with autoship. great food, great brand and great chewy.

Great for seniors

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.

Mold in horse feed

The feed, which took 2 weeks to arrive understandably, was filled with mold chunks. It had obviously been contaminated before it went into the bag because there was no sign outside of the bag of wetness or mold. I ordered 2 bags only one had the issue. Now I have to wait 2-3 days for customer service to contact me, etc. This has been my concern when ordering animal feed online. It's not like the horse can wait 3 weeks for it's much needed and paid for feed. Havent had many issues before but now I'm stuck.
