Provide clean, fresh water and free-choice salt at all times.
Forage values are suggested intakes based on good quality forage. The quality and digestibility of the forage is variable and dependent on the maturity of the plant at harvest. Horses older than six months should be fed at least 1% of body weight as forage to maintain gut health.
When possible, have your forage analyzed to estimate quality and digestibility.
If additional calories are needed do one of the following:
- Add ULTIMATE FINISH™ 25, 40 or 100 by BUCKEYE™ Nutrition.
- Incorporate additional BUCKEYE™ Nutrition products.

Transformation Tuesday
"Little Transformation Tuesday for you! Buckeye has to be hands down the best feed I have ever fed. Not only does Jesse look great but the other four look awsome too, even the 20 year olds!"

Irish Draught Stallion Raised On Buckeye Nutrition
"My young Irish Draught stallion, Amhrán, was raised on Buckeye Gro 'N Win. We received many compliments on his condition and his shiny coat at his stallion inspection last fall. All of my horses, from youngsters to teens, are doing very well on Gro 'N Win, and they also love Buckeye treats (and I like that the treats have no added sugar)."

OLA maintains weight & is still energized after competition
Meet OLA Loki and owner Bonnie! Loki is insulin resistant, but still competed 665 miles in competitive trail, endurance and limited distance endurance to win the regional championship, Part Arab championship, the Charles Phillips Versatility award and the AHDRA versatility award.
"While he is competing, Loki gets Cadence, which he LOVES, and GRO 'N WIN. He was able to maintain his weight and remain full of energy even after three days in a row of competing and going week after week. When he is not competing he just gets GRO 'N WIN. Thanks you for taking the time to do the research and produce great products for the performance horse."
- Bonnie
