HIGHLY Recommend!
By Kathy on Aug 27, 2020
I've been feeding Tribute Essential K GC Plus to my 2 elderly mares for many years. They're both easy keepers & have never been fed grain. They do GREAT on this instead and I'm thrilled that Chewy now carries this!

Hopeful for this product
By bails on May 29, 2020
Super excited to test out this product on all 3 of my horses! The dry weather has got everyones feet cracking. Ive got an 18 year old with arthritis in his hocks and a 14 year old whos going strong on the barrel pattern. Hoping to keep her that way for many more years. Ive also got a 2 year old who is too small yet to be getting on so I hope this feed helps him to grow big and strong

This is a great feed for easy keepers!
By Elise on Mar 27, 2020
My senior easy keeper loves this feed! I use just enough to keep her meds and trace minerals! Now I can save the trip to the only feed store that sells it near me, which is 45 min drive! Thank you!!

My Mare just kicked one of the yearlings!!!!!
By Court on Nov 20, 2019
Ok, so on the surface, that title may not seem like a good thing, but I am excited!!!! The mare in question has arthritis in her back hocks. The right leg is fully fused in the center joint. The yearlings can be jerks (what youngster doesn’t test the boundaries), and have figured out that as long as they stay away from her teeth they can act however they want. I am very skeptical of glucosamine products and have never really seen much of a result. However, about two months ago I saw this product and figured that for a few extra dollars I would give it a whirl. I feed 1lb per day per horse. After 30 days, I noticed one of my geldings was moving better than normal under saddle. I was still skeptical Ok, so on the surface, that title may not seem like a good thing, but I am excited!!!!

I haven’t seen my mare stomp at a fly in over a year, let along actually strike at anything. This morning, the little brat baby attempted to shoulder in behind the mare to push her away from the hay. The mare picked up her hind right and firmly reminded the young’n that she is still boss mare. I don’t know who was more shocked, me or the yearling but I am definitely sold. This is a great product!!!! … more
