Basics

It's easy to become overwhelmed on the subject of equine nutrition. Feed companies barrage us with advertising. Barn owners and trainers all have their own opinions on what to feed. Old-school ideas persist in most areas, simply because it's how it has always been done. When you press people for an explanation of why they feed what they feed, chances are very good the response will be vague and anecdotal.

Much of what you'll hear around the barn is misleading at best. Feeding fads come and go. If you really want to structure the best possible diet for your horse, forage testing and custom supplementation are the only way to go. Using the guidelines put forth by the National Research Council in the latest edition of Nutrient Requirements of Horses, and the recommendations of top equine nutritionists, it's easy to formulate the best possible plan for your horse.

We offer CUSTOM DIET BALANCING for $100 per horse.

Alternatively, you can learn to formulate a custom diet yourself. Leading equine nutrition expert Dr. Eleanor Kellon of Equine Nutritional Solutions offers online courses that cover the gamut of equine nutrition issues. Access her website here:  http://www.drkellon.com

We've also put together a primer of information to demystify the most common equine nutrition issues on our Facts & Myths page.

If you're in Southern California, our So Cal Blends might be an ideal solution.  Check out the PRODUCTS page for more information.
