Q: I have a 28 year old mare that colics and a 7 year old gelding that also colics at times. Would this feed benefit them? They are mild cases when they do. They eat mostly grass and hay. I feed nutrena maintenance now.

Q: Im getting a mare who’s severely overweight, limiting hay access and going on a dry lot. I feed supplements so trying to find a grain to give her thats not high in sugar as we suspect she may be trying to founder. Is this a good fit for her?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry - SafeChoice Special Care could be an option, but you may want to consider a ration balancer such as Empower Topline Balance https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/nutrena-empower-balance-grass-formula-horse-supplement-40-lb - this will have a lower feeding rate, thus less calories. It is nutrient dense 1-2 pounds/day will provide her requirements.

Excellent for my mare!

My mare is doing well on this low starch feed. She's losing weight slowly which is healthy. The taste must be good as she eats every bit.

Poor buying management

15 days ago
Product is fine, but Tractor Supply informed me when I picked up my last 3 bags that they wouldn't have any more for a long time, maybe by spring! 😠 Thankfully their local competitor still has plenty.

Yes, I recommend this product.
