SAFE 'N EASY Performance delivers calm, steady energy without the sugar highs. Designed for mental focus and steady, controlled energy, this feed gives them the fuel they need while supporting balanced behavior. With two bioavailable sources of magnesium, just 13.5% NSC (starch & sugar), and no corn or molasses, it helps support mental focus and steady performance. A gentle blend of prebiotics and probiotics supports healthy digestion, making it a smart choice for sensitive horses or those needing controlled energy. Formulated to meet higher caloric demands, this feed delivers reliable energy without excess excitability. By relying on slow-burning fats and high fiber, it helps horses stay attentive, cooperative, and responsive to rider cues. The low-NSC profile also offers peace of mind for horses prone to tying-up, muscle tightness, or digestive sensitivity. SAFE 'N EASY Performance also contains marine-sourced calcium to provide gastric support.
