Feeding Directions
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 gains. Triple Crown Lite should be fed to horses that have a tendency to become overweight or are receiving less than 4 pounds of grain per day. Triple Crown Lite should be fed in combination with hay and/or pasture, salt, and fresh, clean water. If your horse is being fed more than 5 pounds of grain daily in order to maintain desired body condition, Triple Crown Lite is not recommended.
MATURE HORSES: Feed 1-2 pounds of Triple Crown Lite per 500 pounds of body weight per day. If more than 4 pounds of Triple Crown Lite is required to maintain the horse’s desired body condition a switch to another Triple Crown formulation such as Low Starch may be necessary.
PONIES AND MINIATURE HORSES: Feed 1 pound of Triple Crown Lite per 500 pounds of body weight and adjust feeding rate to maintain desired body condition.
CAUTION: In order to avoid excessive mineral and vitamin intake, DO NOT feed more than 5 lbs. of Triple Crown Lite per day. Chronic intake of excess minerals and / or vitamins can adversely affect the health of your horse. Lite should NOT be fed with a ration balancer since this product has higher vitamin and mineral levels incorporated into the formula.
NOTE: Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Keep product fresh in cool, dry storage. Examine product daily for mold or insect contamination. DO NOT use product that is old, molded or insect contaminated.
***The following coefficients of variation (cv) can be associated with the carbohydrate analyses. These should reasonably account for both sampling and analytical variation, though as you know, poor sampling can lead to much larger variation. The coefficients of variation (cv) for starch is 10%, WSC is 15% and ESC is 15%. For example, a feed with a WSC value of 10% should be expected to range from 8.5 – 11.5% and a WSC value of 20% to range from 17 – 23%. In addition, there are variables on ingredients between suppliers that could be as much as an additional 5% to 10% per ingredient. Therefore, products, such as TC 30% Supplement potentially would have a smaller variation than TC Lite due to the number of bulk ingredients making up the feed (2 vs. 4).

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.
When I first got my QH gelding I had him on triple crown senior. Eventually, he started to get a bit too porky on it and we switched him to the lite feed. This has helped him maintain a healthy weight. Triple crown feed is the best on the market. Why anyone would feed anything else I don’t know. The lite formula is a great option for easy keepers (fat qh’s, Arabs, ponies etc.)
I started my mare, Maggie, on Triple crown Lite 9 weeks ago and started her on an exercise program. This picture is of Maggie 9 weeks later and lighter.She is off her allergy medication and breezes easily through barrel pattern.
