Feeding Horses: Triple Crown Customers Rave About The Results

"Pretty is as pretty does"... using Triple Crown Feed, he is both!

Gaston was born and raised in Minnesota and moved to Florida almost 4 years ago. He had a lot of problems adjusting to the South Florida climate. The worst being he was plagued with sores that would not heal that always became Florida Sores. He is been on the "Florida Sore Protocol" for almost a full year now. He is staying sore free. Gaston is fed TC lite and a little of Rice Bran oil to keep him looking great!

"We have seen amazing results using the Triple Crown Fish Oil Powder. We are feeding 2 scoops per day of it to our top show horses that range from 3 to 16 year olds. The benefits we have observed include an increase in shine to their haircoats, decrease in inflammation in their joints that has allowed for more fluid movement as well as a reduction in stiffness, and reduced muscle tension. With our top horses we have our vet adjust them chiropractically and perform acupuncture on them once a month. Our vet recently came out to work on them and was pleasantly surprised that the horses required minor adjustment and did not require any acupuncture because their muscles were not tense! She asked what we had changed and we told her we were feeding the Fish Oil."

"The Triple Crown Fish Oil Powder is very palatable and even our pickiest eaters have no problem eating it. It also contains a much higher level of Omega 3's than most other products on the market. We highly recommend it for anyone wanting to give their horse the extra edge performing and help them feel their best."

I recently transitioned my horses over to Triple Crown feed and have been really pleased with the results! My horses look and perform better and have more energy...even in the blistering Texas heat! They are show ring ready and happy to get out there and do their job!

Since I do all of the feeding myself, I monitor how each horse is doing. I've found that I am supplementing far less now than in the past. I still have a couple horses in training who have come to me with special nutritional needs, but they are thriving and I will, hopefully, be able to wean them off of additional supplements.

Triple Crown is the highest quality feed I've found available in my area and it is a simple choice and I believe it is the right choice for the horses at Bel Canto Farms!

Please consider marketing your 10% Performance Formula to the HYPP horse; I have done EXTENSIVE research on feeding HYPP horses, and because of an article that I found on the Internet, I started feeding my horse your Low Starch Feed as recommended. Well, my horse really didn't like it, and so I had to find other solutions on how to feed him. I tried every trick in the book which would be beneficial for an HYPP horse; after nearly 6 months I decided to get back onto your website to see if I missed anything. I saw your 10% Performance Formula, and was surprised that it had a lower potassium level than the Low Starch Feed.

Naturally, I decided to order a bag; gradually I incorporated it in with the Low starch; my horse LOVED IT!!! I was unsure about how much to give him, so I decided to add oats so that he wouldn't founder or colic; the choice paid off handsomely. In one year, I can say that this product put a bloom in my horse that was completely absent when I first acquired him.

Because of his HYPP, he was found to have been the property of 7 different owners. I can state that when I purchased him it was virtually site unseen; I only saw video shots and photos from the Internet, and I could see that he had tremendous potential, and I completely missed the malnutrition that he clearly suffered from when he arrived in MA. At 15.2 h.h. and barely 900 pounds, this horse was wasting away before my eyes. Now, he is sporting a hefty 1200 physique, and could probably stand to lose 50 pounds! With a little more exercise, he'll be fit enough to get back into the show ring in no time. (Wow: did I forget to mention that he was bred to be a halter horse? He does has lifetime halter earnings, but he's simply too young to retire just yet!)

Also of note: he suffered from sweet itch terribly last year; since I knew absolutely NOTHING about sweet itch, I decided to purchase some flax seed, and was amazed at how well it worked. I was also surprised to see that you have incorporated flax into the 10% Performance Formula, and so hats off to your company for saving my horse and keeping him comfortable and free of hives. I didn't feed him flax throughout the winter and I was very pleased with the condition of his coat this spring.

He really has come a long way, and I am grateful to your company for his recovery.    -  Best Regards, Marti Long

PS: One final note: I am THE last owner this horse will ever have unless he outlives me. If that is the case, then you might consider offering your feeds for human consumption...since 50 is now the new 40 these days!

And no, I don't mean The Preakness Stakes. Saturday my mare Cassi arrived at her 33rd Birthday!! And I want to thank your company for getting her there. Her hay consumption is minimal. I rely heavily on Triple Crown Senior to keep her going. What may lend even more sentiment to this statement is I bought this horse in 1980 as a three year old. She's family.

I spent 369 days rehabilitating and fostering 2 horses from a large seizure case in TN. I started these two horses on Triple Crown Senior and they are currently still on it and look wonderful. One of them is a stallion and was only able to be gelded a few months ago and is still gaining weight but has done very well considering his situation. During the 369 days I cared for these horses but was told that they could be sold or turned back over to their owners just according to how the case went. To make a very long story short the two horses I fostered I was able to adopt and are now mine.

I have owned Max for almost four years now and he was started on Triple Crown Complete two years ago. The PQHA picture is from when we first purchased Max, the WPQHA Picture was last Summer, and the NYS Breeders Picture is Max from Memorial Day Weekend. You can tell just in the difference in his coat, with the rice bran oil in the feed.

Hey there, I have been using your product for coming on 10 years now. I use TC Senior, Complete, and Lite for my different horses in the barn. I couldn't say more about the product and would never change to another feed. I thought I would send you a picture on my lovley retired/rescuded TB mare. I thought maybe in the future you could use her for your Senior feed poster child....she is pictured her at 26 years young! I don't expect she will loose her good condition any time soon so she may look this good at age 30! Thanks for making good feeds that can help me make my horses look like this.

Just a quick note to say "keep up the great work" with your feed line! I have been feeding Triple Crown 10% Textured Performance feed for the 3 years.

My 16 year old Standardbred and 27 ish year old pony/horse have done really well on this formula; people always comment on the shiney coats my horses have; the farrier has commented on the improved quality of their hooves and all with out supplements, just your quality feed. This fall I started the pony on Triple Crown Senior, she looked like she needed an "edge" and within weeks her vibrance retruned and she's back to her old self.

There is something to be said for the manner in which you produce your feed, and I don't mind paying a little extra for the peace of mind that I get with Triple Crown Feeds!

I just wanted to send a thank you to the makers of the feed that we have been using. We used to use Purina and I was very hesitant to switch to Triple Crown, but there is not a Purina dealer in the town I live so my fiance finally convinced me to give Triple Crown a try because it was available at our local Southern States store. That was last summer. Boy am I glad we did!

March 31st, I picked up a horse from Louisville, KY that was in such horrible condition our vet wasn't sure if he would make it. He was so starved you could see his entire spine, hips, ribs. His thick winter coat covered a lot. I had to use a handful of hay to coax Moon on the trailer to get him home. He choaked on the hay I gave him even though it was just a handful, that's how starved he was. The paddock he was in was mud and there was one tree in it in which he had eaten all the bark off as high as he could reach.

His mane and tail were full of mud and dread locks, his coat was dull and he was full of rain rot. We had our vet meet us at our house. He came off the trailer so weak he couldn't stand up. Even before we loaded him on the trailer he was so weak he drug his feet when he walked. It took our vet almost three hours of working on him to get the hay out and his esophagus cleared. Of course, we still had a long, uphill road ahead of us. Sandy, our vet, kept cautioning us about how hard it was going to be to bring him back. The first few days we could only feed him watered down hay, breaking the flakes apart. He colicked a few times during the week but came out of each episode. After a couple of days we started giving him dry hay and a watered down Triple Crown Senior mash. He started picking up energy like you can not believe! In a week we stopped watering down the Senior feed. After a month of being on the Senior, we switched him to Triple Crown Complete. I'm sure you hear this all the time but this horse recovered unlike anything I've ever seen!

Our farrier was out five days after we brought Moon home. He was still so weak it took almost two hours to just trim his feet because we would have to give him a break in between feet. He stood very quietly, he just was too weak to hold his feet up for any length of time. Not to mention his feet were in HORRIBLE condition. Five weeks later, Chris, our farrier, came back out. We had Moon in one of our stalls and Chris asked who the new horse was. When I told him that it was Moon, he didn't believe me. He thought Moon had died and we found a horse that looked like him.

We started riding Moon just two months after bringing him home because his spine was no longer prominent, his hips were filling in and his ribs were barely noticeable....after just TWO MONTHS! The only thing he was getting Triple Crown (Senior to start and then Complete), some Timothy/Orchard grass hay and pasture grass.

In three months Moon went to his first show. He had no prior eventing experience. In fact, he had raced as a three year old, then was kicked out to pasture until he was 12 years old. Then the lady I got him from got him. She did not want him, but in order to buy the horse she did want, she had to take Moon as part of the package. She broke him to ride and used him for about a year in beginner lessons. Then she too kicked him out to a small paddock and apparently no feed. When I saw him out in the paddock I knew I had to take him. I told the lady that owned him that I would like to take him and she gladly let me. Of course Randy, my fiance, was not pleased. Here I show up with a near death 14 year old horse that had done pretty much nothing but sit in a field his whole life.

His first event was 4th of July weekend at Hoosier Horse Park. He did very well in dressage for his first time in the ring and his first show! We got a 39, putting us in the middle of the pack at 8th but only 1 rail from 4th place. Stadium was after dressage and he did great! Went double clear. Cross country was next and I was a little nervous because we had only gone schooling once and did not school a water complex. He did great! Went clear and was braver and braver to every fence! We took it easy and had only entered him at Starter but still I thought it was a great first event! He finished in 3rd! Our next event was August 8th at Spring Run, notorious for their difficult cross country course. We had several cross country schoolings under our belt and Moon was doing so well, we moved him up to Beginner Novice. This would be his first w-t-c dressage test. We had worked very hard though and I felt (along with my dressage coach and event coach) that he was ready. Boy was he! He went in the ring and had a beautiful test. We rec'd several 8's and a score of 31.6 putting him in 2nd!

Cross country I was a little nervous again because the jumps were very large and it was a long course. I mean, who would have thought this horse that was almost dead when we got him would be running cross country (at Spring Run nonetheless) four months later? He was great. He came out of the start box and galloped right up and over the first fence. The fences that I were worried about (they were over BN height) were a breeze and he again went double clean cross country. Stadium was a breeze also. He finished on his dressage score in 2nd place!

The following weekend we went to Long Run Hounds Hunter Pace. I was a little weary because I wasn't sure if Moon was in good enough shape for a 5 mile hunter pace but my coaches kept saying he was. Boy was he! He jumped all the HUGE jumps on the course and he LOVED it. Our team finished in one of the fastest times of the day and he had plenty of energy to spare as he trotted all the way back to paddock we had reserved about a mile away. He was so proud of himself he did a little jigging trot the whole way, leading our team of four horses! Not only has he turned out to be a great horse for me but my five year daughter just loves him as well. He's a big built TB and stands almost 16.2 hands so she's tiny on him. But he takes care of her and packs her around the arena or field. I know I went on and on about him but it really is an amazing story and I feel that your feed helped Moon make the recovery he did!

He went from being a starved, unwanted horse in someone's paddock to a large, healthy, vibrant and talented event horse in just a few short months! So, again thank you so much for providing such great feed! Triple Crown is the ONLY feed we feed at our barn. We have the Growth for our yearling, Senior for a boarder's mare that is a hard keeper and Complete for everything else. All of our horses are healthy and have great coats! We don't feed any additional supplements for feet, coat, condition, etc. The only supplement we do feed is to Moon which is a joint supplement."

Rusty is a 30 year old morgan. He belongs to my best friend Pam. Last fall he was really going down hill. Because of his teeth, or lack thereof, he was unable to get proper nutrition. She tried several feeds with no result. She left him with me while she went back east for nine weeks. Before she left she found your product and started him on it. I continued to feed him only Triple Crown Senior.

He eats no hay or any other supplements, just a mineral block and clean, fresh water. I think the pictures speak for themself. Your product is amazing.

I have been feeding Triple Crown for 10 years now. I have also sent before and after pictures of the very first horse I put on Triple Crown. Since that time it is the only feed I use! It dramatically changed my Thoroughbred and keep my Friesian in superb athletic condition. I used to live in MN and would drive to the cities from St. Cloud just to buy Triple Crown. Now I am in NC and can get it right down the street at Southern States.... I think everyone should use it!

I am such a big fan of Triple Crown feed I would be proud to wear a Triple Crown T-shirt so please put that on your "to do" list. Triple Crown was a life saver for my older mare that had Cushing's for the last 6 years of her life, making it to the grand ole age of 33 before I lost her to something unrelated to her diet or disease. I've also fed an older gelding TC Senior, he lived to be 35 when I lost him to cancer. Now I'm presently feeding TC Senior to my 23 year old mare and TC Lite to my 6 year old Arabian/Paint who is insulin resistant. I truly could not be any happier with your feed selections and availability of your Nutritionist Kelly Payne when I have dietary questions.....in fact, I never make a change without consulting with her first.

My 12 year old Thoroughbred has been flourishing since receiveing a daily dose of your rice bran oil. No more flaky skin and brittle feet. His coat glows and the shoer is very pleased with the condition of his feet.

Someone gave me a 21 yr. old that was very poor. I started her on Triple Crown Senior. Within 3 months she put all her weight back on. No more bones showing. Thank you - it saved her life. It's a wonderful product!

I have a full service facility here in NH and I have everything from weanlings to older horses topping 33+ years, I have several clients horses that have cushings and have come to me very malnourished. I have been feeding TC Senior and TC Growth and they have all flourished on it! I even have some of my show horses that are no more than 9 yrs old eating TC Senior and I have had numerous comments on these horses when they come out of the show pen as reserve and world champions. Most of my horses have come to us as abused and starved horses and all have gone on to be very competitive.

I have a apendix QH that I barrel race with. He's a very hard keeper. I tried every kind of feed out there and nothing worked. When I heard about Triple Crown Complete I thought I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot, so I did. Within 2 weeks, I saw a difference in his coat and conditon. He has been on it for 2 months now and he doesn't even look or act like the same horse. Thank you Triple Crown - you're the best!

I have a 17 year old thoroughbred that I could not get and keep weight on. I tried Purina Equine Senior then added Equipride with no results. I went to the feed store for Moorman's Rice Bran and the owner told me about Triple Crown Senior. I researched it on line and purchased several bags. In one month, feeding 10 lbs. a day split into two feedings, my horse is at his optimum weight and now I will need to reduce the amount fed daily to keep him from getting overweight. Your product is awesome and I am trying to win over other horse owners that have hard keepers or senior horses. I am changing my daughter's morgan hunter to your Lite formula because he becomes fat on air. I am grateful that you guys are out there.  -- Thanks, Jo
