Cautiously Optimistic About This Ration Balancer

It took a minute for my gelding to warm up to this stuff (he loves to eat but can be weird about some new feeds and supplements), but he's eating it now with gusto!

It took a minute for my gelding to warm up to this stuff (he loves to eat but can be weird about some new feeds and supplements), but he's eating it now with gusto! I see other reviews mentioning horses not touching it, and mine was the same! I just left the bag opened in a spare trash can (feed bin) and every now and then I'd offer him a handful to see if he'd had a change of heart. Sometimes he'd eat most and let the rest fall on the ground. Then he eventually started eating it pretty well and finally, I was able to start putting a little in his meals of soaked beet pulp, ground flaxseed, and his forage balancer and supplements. He ate it fine, and eventually began "talking" at meal times (which he has never really done, I've owned him his entire life). He seems to really like it now, cleans his bucket happily. Time will tell if it fits the bill for him, but I love the ingredients and nutritional profile on it, so fingers crossed that this takes the place of about three supplements that I'll no longer need to feed!

Excellent Horse loves it

Deacon loves the Wholesome Blend Feed, we started with the Wholesome Blend Performance, but found for some reasons they discontinued it so I purchased the Balancer

Deacon loves the Wholesome Blend Feed, we started with the Wholesome Blend Performance, but found for some reasons they discontinued it so I purchased the Balancer and Senior, Wholesome Blend Feed. Deacon is a picky eater and even picker since he developed ulcers from EPM meds. Now that he is back on feed these seem to help with building weight and muscle besides all the other great nutrition they offer. I hope they do not discontinue this line Excellent feed

Soy free ration balancer

I’ve been using Wholesome Blends for my herd of Miniature Horses & Donkeys for years. I like that it has balanced protein/amino acids, and a good amount of vitamins and natural minerals. Many members of the herd have had a variety of symptoms from using soy based balancers so I started using this & the symptoms have resolved

I feed tribute prior just a different one and he made such a mess with it or didn’t even finished, so far one week in the bucket is empty minimal spillage I’m just trying to figure out how much water to add and how long it takes to soak. I will update after this bag is done. 3 out 5 so far with room for more

I have a gelding who gets fat on air. Vet suggested a small amount of feed along with hay pellets. I tried another balancer and he would walk away from it. He loves this feed. In fact, I used to have to go out in the pasture, halter him and bring him in for dinner. Now, he is waiting in the stall or comes galloping in for dinner. The only thing that has changed is the feed. Stools are good, he looks healthy and is doing well on this feed. I like the smell and the actual pieces of vegetables, plus the fact that bit is low sugar, high fiber and has probiotics.

My horses favorite feed (and mine too)

I was spending $250 a month on bagged Senior feed for my two horses. It seemed like the more I fed them, the worse the looked. So I decided to switch to a ration

I was spending $250 a month on bagged Senior feed for my two horses. It seemed like the more I fed them, the worse the looked. So I decided to switch to a ration balancer since I was already feeding them teff hay and alfalfa. I compared many options reviewing the macro nutrients, ingredients, and added supplements. I was impressed by the protein content of this feed and decided to give it a try. My feed bill is now under $100 and I was able to cut back on supplementation. In addition to the cost savings, my horse devour this feed. They pick it out and leave their alfalfa pellets to finish after. I believe it has my horses approval, it has mine, and my vet said this is the best they have looked. My horses have been eating this feed for approximately 8 months.

I really liked the ingredients and the texture and it smelled really good

Even though I liked the quality for whatever reason was she wouldn't eat it so I ended up feeding it to the deer instead.

Horses eat it up very well. Too soon to tell about weight management as a balancer and the nutrient benefit, but they eat it up better than other balancers we’ve
