Feeding Problems
The degree of acceptance to this product by your horse or horses is going to be governed by many factors. The most common reported issue regarding the rejection of this feed by horses has been when they have been previously fed a ration containing oil or molasses. It appears horses are reluctant to give up the sugar addiction in favor of eating their vegetables. In some cases, a week or more may be required to get them to accept the natural flavor of Thrive Feed. This problem rarely happens with starved horses!
How safe is it?
To give you an idea of how safe this feed is, it is not uncommon for foals 5 days old to chow down on their mother’s ration without any issues whatsoever. Even a foal has no problems assimilating this fantastic tool for success! Avalon, pictured on the right, is a big gentle giant. He slept all day after consuming 3 bags or 120 pounds of Thrive Feed he stole one night. He never moved all the next day, then at about 6 pm got up, had a drink, and looked for dinner. His actions really highlighted just how safe this product is. There were no problems observed with him except a lot of poop.
