After going to a Bluebonnet feed seminar recently, I have put some of my horses on their Equilene. Looks like a very good high quality feed all the way around, the only problem is that it's available at one feed store locally only and he's only carrying a few of their products. I've had them on Safe Choice and/or EQ Sr forever, 14% feeds but the only thing he has now is a 12%. For my big guys this is plenty of protein, in fact I like it better. What kind of protein do you feed, do you think 12% is adequate for a working show horse? Someone commented on another thread about using the protein to build topline... I do feed beet pulp as well, along with coastal hay and either alfalfa or the bagged alfalfa/timothy mix that TSC sells so they are not lacking.
The feed also includes a probiotic, which means I can probably stop adding Fastrack.
Bluebonnet makes a 14% but he doesn't have it and I don't want to be dependent on a feed that I can't get all the time. It looks (and smells) good lol. They also make a senior feed and several others but he's not stocking them as of now. I think it's available pretty much only in the southwest states. It is one of the few companies that lists exactly what they put in the feed and doesn't substitute whatever is cheaper/more available at the moment.
