FAQ
-
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 Quarter Horse has PSSM. Help!

The lowest level sugar and starch products, SAFE 'N EASY and GRO 'N WIN, fit perfectly into the diet of a horse with PSSM.
