Re: [RC] ultium and other high tech feeds - Glenda R.

I'm wondering what you find it does for your horses. I'm asking b/c I have been feeding senior to my horses and they both do great on it, but I've always been bothered by the 14% protein. And, someone recently gave me a couple bags of ultium, so I figured i'd try it. But, at $15/bag, i'm not sure it's my best choice. So, I'm curious... I switched my hard-keeper to Ultium as soon as it became available in my area a few months ago. He was on Endurance Gold, which has less beetpulp and more molasses, so I figured Ultium would be better for him all around. He did pick up some weight pretty quickly in spite of increased workload, and since the feed contains pretty much all the supplements I was feeding him anyway, it wasn't that much more expensive (if any) and much easier to deal with. He also really loves the taste. It mixes very well with beetpulp and he started licking his beetpulp bowls clean and dry, which he had not done before when it was mixed with Endurance Gold. A friend's horse that never would eat beetpulp at all now devours his beetpulp when mixed with Ultium, so that's an added benefit as well. -- Glenda R.
