Another Amazing Transformation

“One of our problems with Miles was adding and keeping weight on him. When Miles came home as a gangly, skinny 4-year-old, he was a very hard keeper. He also was an extremely finicky eater. I tried various combinations of feeds to try to put weight on him and he did gain a little but just didn’t have much muscle and despite the large volume of feed, he was still on the thin side with no fat reserves to get him through an illness or extreme weather. When he was in training, he was getting 12+ pounds of feed per day and still was on the ribby side. Since switching to Total Equine in March of 2016, Miles has turned into a different horse. He continues to gain lean muscle and the quality of his coat has improved dramatically. When trying to get weight on him and during ride season when he is working harder, he gets 6 pounds per day. During times when he isn’t working as much, he gets 4 pounds per day and still looks great. I believe the feed has also contributed a great deal to his wonderful hoof quality. He only wears hoof protection at the rockiest of rides, otherwise he stays totally barefoot. He did a 50-mile endurance ride barefoot last fall without any difficulty and his hooves still looked amazing at the end. He also has gotten much better about eating, even when he is nervous or distracted. It used to be a nightmare to try to entice him to eat when away from home and now he eats far more reliably. Our new feeding program has completely changed Miles’ appearance and has made both of our lives simpler, less stressful and is giving me a healthier, happier horse”. Whitney Lowe, Rantoul, Kansas
