Triple Crown Lite is a whole grain and molasses free pellet ideal for easy keepers — horses that maintain their weight on very little grain or on grass and hay alone. It is also for miniature horses, horses with metabolic disease and those prone to founder and laminitis, and is designed to provide supplemental minerals and vitamins without encouraging excessive weight gain.

Triple Crown Lite is designed to be a palatable feed for horses that will provide a desired intake level of supplemental
minerals and vitamins without encouraging excessive weight gain. It should be fed to horses that have a tendency to
become overweight or are receiving less than 4 lb. of grain per day.
Feed in combination with hay and/or pasture, salt and fresh, clean water. If more than 5 lb. are needed to maintain desired body condition, switch to a Triple Crown performance or senior feed.
NOTE: Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Keep product fresh in cool, dry storage. Examine product daily. DO NOT use if old, moldy or contaminated with insects.
CAUTION: Follow label directions. In order to avoid excessive mineral and vitamin intake, DO NOT feed more than 5 lb. of Triple Crown Lite per day. Chronic intake of excess minerals and/or vitamins can adversely affect the health of your horse. Feeding added Selenium at levels in excess of 0.30 ppm in the total diet is prohibited. Triple Crown Lite does not exceed an intake of 3 mg of added Selenium per head per day when fed as directed. Product contains added Copper; do not feed to sheep.

I’ve had the same feed now for 16 years. My horse is now 25 and doing great!
I’ve had this horse on various balancers and she has really struggled with environmental allergies. Once I put her on lite, to give more bulk to take all of her meds, the allergies cleared up within a month. I tried to go back to balancer and they flared again even with allergy meds and injections on board. Please don’t discontinue this feed!
The Triple Crown Lite is a great feed product for my 21-year-old aqha gelding.
Love this product! Helps my Rocky stay trim and he likes it!
I had my foundered mare on Timothy pellets, beet pulp, flax and a forage balancer for a year and a half after she got extremely sore being on safe choice feed. She became sound again, but she got ribby with a big belly and her black coat turned really red. I decided to try her on Triple Crown Lite along with orchard grass pellets and flax. Her topline and ribs have filled back out, her big belly is going away and her coat is much blacker again. She looks better every day! I'm so thankful I found Triple Crown!

1. One cellulase unit (CU) is defined as the amount of activity that will produce a relative fluidity change of 1 (determined with a calibrated viscometer) in 5 minutes in a defined carboxymethylcellulose substrate at pH 4.5 and 40°C.
2. One hemoglobin unit (HUT) of proteolytic (protease) activity is defined as that amount of enzyme that produces, in one minute under the specified conditions, a hydrolysate whose absorbance at 275nm is the same as that of a solution containing 1.10g per mL of tyrosine in 0.006N hydrochloric acid.
