What kind of feed would best benefit my horse?
There are many types of horses feeds on the market today and none of them are exactly the same. Each can fit a specific need with what you are doing with your horse. Let's run down the list to see what feed horse would do better on.
Omolene 100= Active horses that are ridden occasionally, in good body condition, fed with fed with hay or grass, feed has a full vitamin package and added vegetable oils for a shiny, healthier coat.
Omolene 200= Active horses that are used for performance, show horses, breeding horses to keep them in a desired condition, includes the product Athlete, a highly fortified supplement with added fat that provides additional levels of energy and nutrition for for the highest demands on your horse.
Omolene 300= For growing horses, complete with vitamins, energy, protein and minerals. Features milk products for superior growth.
Strategy= Was originally formulated for the professional horse operation. Strategy includes a patented manufacturing technique that releases energy that horses need while maintaining a pronounced calming effect. It can be fed to breeding, performance and maintenance horses.
Equine Junior= Fed to weanlings up to two years, this is a complete feed that can supply all of the nutrients the animal needs. Hay is not necessary because of the pre-processed alfalfa but can be used.
Equine Senior= Formulated as a completed feed for older horses that have a less efficient metabolic system. Easy to chew and swallow, Vitamin C added, adjusted mineral balance and high protein.
These formulations cover most horses, but there are many other types of feed. From self fed blocks to horse minerals. At least 20 other products that Purina makes in our area for different ages, stages and types of operations. So you can see if there's a horse out there that has a heartbeat, there's a feed out there that will fit her well.
My quote of the week comes from an unknown source. It reads, "Bad habits are like comfortable beds, easy to get into, but hard to get out of."
