About 6 years ago I purchased a 8 month old colt. We pulled a 5 panel test on him and it came back he had PSSM1 . After researching P1 and what his diet needed to be, I put him on Triple Crown Ration Balancer 30%. He loves his 30% and so do we!!
When we purchased our then 3 year-old mustang a year ago, we did a lot of research on what to feed her. She’s the opposite end of the spectrum from the 25 year-old rescue mare we fed Triple Crown Senior to. She’s an easy keeper and we wanted to make sure she was getting all of the nutrients she needed without extra calories, fat or sugar. Triple Crown Balancer has been amazing. This year she’s so dappled out that our vet didn’t recognize her! Thank you, Triple Crown!!
I switched 4 retired easy keepers from TC Senior to Balancer. I saw them keeping their weight up and over all they seemed to be much more relaxed. THEN I decided to try it out on our 15 yr old ottb, who has mood swings, some days he was 2 and then there were days he refused to come out of his stall. You never knew what kind of a ride you were going to have (I've had him since he was 4)…REMARKABLE!!!! He is calm, easy to ride and simply amazing!!!! His weight is great and his coat is wonderful! Along with CEP Hoof supplement and peanut hay he is one perfect horse now!!!! I am sad we didn’t try this earlier!!!! Less biting flies as well!!!Love Balancer!!!!
Love that this is balanced and low NSC under 10%. Perfect for my pasture puffs who just need balanced vitamin rations. Feed rate makes this very cost effective to feed compared to supplements. I am also able to use successfully as a supplement for my horse who needed some calories from other feeds, but did not meet the full feed rate for those feeds. Triple Crown 30% ration balancer has been perfect in my feed program!
I’m very glad that I switched my horse to Triple Crown 30%! I had been feeding Poulin but as my horse is an easy keeper, she was getting way below the minimum requirement for feeding. By switching to the 30% ration balancer, she is getting all her nutrients!
