Triple Crown Low Starch contains no whole grains, molasses or alfalfa meal, ingredients many horse owners associate with hyperactivity and allergies. With fewer carbohydrates than most hay and pasture, this feed provides additional calories for performance horses and horses with elevated levels of metabolism. By utilizing high quality fiber sources and added fat, including rice bran and flaxseed, essential calories are provided while keeping sugar and starch levels low.

A year ago my granddaughter got her first horse back. He had been used as a lesson horse while she trained her new TB. Long story. He was labeled as a HS and was aggressive, something he wasn’t known for. I did my research. Started Magnesium and TC Low Starch. Stopped all added sugar products. World of difference. They are in sync again and enjoying the rides. Now if only our TSC would keep it stocked routinely.
Have my NH Halter Mare on this product. She hasn't had one attack sense. I love this product.
I have been feeding my mare that is both PSSM1 & HYPP for over 4 years now after she had a SEVERE attack. When she was diagnosed positive for both, I frantactly starting looking for something to feed her that wouldn't contradict each other's requirements. This feed has been a life saver!! Low potassium for the HYPP and low sugar/starch for the PSSM1.
Love the Low starch but it is so hard to get.... Great for horses with Cushings. My farrier says he can see the difference among his client's horses on Triple Crown.
I have a rather rambunctious 12 year old thoroughbred gelding. He has an EXTENSIVE amount of energy so I began to look for a feed more suitable for him. Triple Crown Low Starch was recommended to me by another boarder at my barn. I have combined this feed with a magnesium supplement and it made such a difference! He is much more calm! Everyone else in the barn has noticed a significant change also!

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.
