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.

I have fed Triple Crown for many years, but I never fed the TC Lite, until I realized that I could probably simplify my feeding program, by doing so, so I switched my entire herd to it, and they look phenomenal. The only one still getting the TC Sr, is my hard keeping old mini, who has COPD.
My two mares who I use for lessons, both get around 2 lbs a day. My young standard jenny donkey who is nursing a month old baby, gets almost the same amount.
My mini donkey gets about a cup. Funny enough, my donkeys do so much better on the Lite, then they did the Ration Balancer. I suspect because donkeys are such great utilizers of their feed, that they didn't need quite the protein and nutrients that the Ration Balancer has. I am technically underfeeding my donkeys the Lite, but it works great for them. It soaks well, they all eat it up, and it's cost effective, as I'm feeding my horses much less, with better results.
My mini has been on Tripe Crown lite!
Using Lite for my insulin disregulation horse and overweight donkey. Lowest NSC
I love that this product is complete with such a little feeding rate. My broodmare is on the line of metabolic so it is perfect that she gets what she needs without the added fat.
I have 4 if my horses on this product. It just fills in the gaps I can't find from other products. Mine get alfalfa 2x a day and 4lbs of lite once a day. It keeps my horses at the top of their game.

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.
