My 21 y.o. Peruvian mare had a history of laminitis prior to my adopting her. Now she's on Safe Starch, plus some hay and is doing great! Even the dogs like it & clean up what she misses.
Love this stuff. It has helped my IR horse tremendously. I feed this along with her hay and the 30% Balancer . She is on a limited diet and this stuff helps give her the extra nutrition she needs. I also use it as a forage mat before riding and exercise.
Even though I don't have a horse with metabolic concerns, I love using this product when I travel for competitions. The horses don't waste any of it, and it's so easy to stack and move. And I can put it in the truck bed without worrying about it getting rained on while driving there!
This forage is such a game-changer. Using it for two PSSM horses, a few of the "chunkier" ponies and a super picky eater! Fantastic to mix with grain and water for a nice warm mash and to increase chewing during meals, but also great on the road or as a sole forage source!
My 16 year old Lipizzan gelding was diagnosed with PPID and EMS. It has been a frustrating and emotional roller coaster ride trying to get both conditions under control, made more complicated by laminitis with rotation in both his front feet. Switching him over to a diet comprised exclusively of Safe Starch has changed everything -- It provides him the forage and nutrition he needs without any guess work. I no longer have to coordinate soaking hay and balancing what nutrients are lost in the process. It saves me time, keeps his gut healthy, and he likes it a whole lot too.
