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.

This feed was a game changer for me. Literally was struggling to feed my mare. She seemed like she was starving because I couldn’t get enough nutrients in other feeds since they had high nsc. I’m so happy I tried T.C. Lite!
Can't beat 9.3% NSC anywhere else! My horses thank you!
I love TC feeds. My Show gelding was on Complete, but was getting too fat so I switched him to Lite and he has never looked better.
After trying multiple feeds to get my horse's weight down and mineral intake up I tried Triple Crown Lite. He now is the perfect weight and his coat is the shiniest I have ever seen it. He has plenty of energy but is not "hot" and he just seems brighter. The vet even complimented how he looks and agreed that his weight was ideal and exactly where she wants it. He looks so good that one of the other boarders at my barn is now switching her horse over to Triple Crown Lite. I cannot recommend this feed enough for any easy keeper.
Our horse, Josie, is 19 years old this year and was diagnosed with Cushings Disease 2 years ago in June 2017. She had very long hair all over and did not shed it that summer. She looked like a woolly mammoth. We found out through research that Triple Crown Lite was the best feed for Cushings. She also was prone to founder. This year in June 2019, after 2 years of feeding Triple Crown Lite, she looks like a young show horse. She shed her hair like she was supposed to for summer and is slick and beautiful. She hasn’t foundered since we began feeding Triple Crown Lite either.

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.
3. All Triple Crown feeds have fixed ingredient formulas. Values reflect an estimated analysis of multiple feed samples from across the U.S. with the understanding that geographic differences can impact the results. Estimated values determined by Equi-Analytical, Ithaca, NY.
