Do you have any products for horses with laminitis or who have foundered?

Horses with laminitis or founder should have limited access to lush pasture that may be high in sugar and starches. If the horse is obese or maintains weight easily, LOW 'N STEADY™, GRO 'N WIN™, or SAFE 'N EASY™ should be fed. If the horse requires additional calories for body condition or performance, EQ8™ Gut Health or EQ8 Senior should be fed.

Any special requirements for a horse with insulin resistance or an older horse with Cushing’s Disease (PPID)?

Horses with insulin resistance and/or Cushing’s Disease require a diet lower in sugar and starch. Depending on the horse’s current body condition, the lowest level sugar and starch products, LOW 'N STEADY, SAFE 'N EASY and GRO 'N WIN, can be fed to meet daily requirements. ULTIMATE FINISH can be added if the horse requires additional calories for body condition.

My pony is fat! What can I give him that won’t add calories?

GRO 'N WIN or LOW 'N STEADY can be fed to horses and ponies that are obese and do not need any extra calories in their diet. GRO 'N WIN and LOW 'N STEADY contain a balance of protein, minerals and vitamins to balance the forage in the diet and their low feeding rate per day ensures your horse or pony receives their daily requirements.

Why is the protein so high in GRO 'N WIN?

Horses require a specific amount of protein in grams per day. The average 1,100-pound idle horse requires about 600 grams of protein per day. Most of that protein requirement can be met with good quality forage. If fed at the recommended feeding rate of 1 ¼ pounds, GRO 'N WIN adds only 178 grams of protein to the total diet (32% crude protein x 1.25 pounds per day [0.56 kg] = 178 grams).
