Was just wondering what everyone's preferred horse feed is.

That depends on the horse, and what they are being asked to do. We've currently got an 8 year old mare who does very well on grass hay only, and we also have a 24 year old mare who needs a little supplementation - said supplementation is satisfied quite nicely with a little senior feed once a day. Obviously, if we had performance horses, the feed would be different.

We feed Safechoice as a staple. Our horses are performance horses, so dependings on their workload, that dictates the amount they get. My husband's 5 year old stallion gets ridden more then my 16 year old mare, so he obviously gets more then her...
I also will mix a 12% sweet feed in with the safechoice for my broodmare.
We feed freechoice Coastal hay. In fact, my son's pony gets NO grain at all, just hay.
And suppliments...I used to use a feed through joint suppliment..highly recognized and expensive. I spoke with a friend of ours whose degree is in animal nuturition. He informed me that the feed through joint suppliments...well, he said a particle of glucosomine was so big, it was almost inpossible for it to be absorbed through the small intestine wall..so my horses were pooping out my expensive suppliment! LOL Im sticking with once yearling Legend shots for joint health now!
