We waited awhile to post this review as we received the first bag as a promotion item. We weren't sure at first our mare was pregnant but when it was confirmed, we switched her to this. Luckily our mare loved it, and we were really happy to have a happy healthy girl born. It's a nice grain, and seemed to provide the nutrients we were looking for in a feed.

I love it. And alot of equine vets recommend it. I was worried my new baby would have a hard time starting a feed. And I just left it in there a day and she was already nibbling it. Now she calls to me for it. It was this vs pedigree and I dont like the fact the sugar percentage isnt listed and that you would have to call the manufacturer. I love transparency. And babys already put on alot of weight and muscle after a week. Very happy. And have a shipping schedule because I cant get this in my state/city. UT.

I fed Nutrena Safe Choice Mare & Foal to a broodmare and her daughter. It is highly palatable and both of them improved in condition and coat quality. The mare was struggling to keep up with the nutritional demands of her foal and this product really helped her meet and exceed those needs. Her coat came back and her weight started to return to normal within two weeks. Her appetite had been so so but this feed is very palatable and she liked it so much she would be banging on the stall door at feed time. It smells clean and the quality of the feed is evident. I liked that the foal can eat some from her creep feeder while her dam receives her full ration. Due to the nutritional levels of starch, there wasn’t the worry of feeding standard sweet feed and taking unnecessary risks regarding sugar imbalances. I would definitely recommend this product for fussy mares who are having a hard time maintaining condition with a foal at side. It stored well as the bag is designed to maintain freshness. We liked it so much we wound up purchasing this feed for her and for four other mares in our care.

I love this product, but now I can't afford the $11.00 a bag price jump overnight. Good thing I was watching. I can get it locally for less now. This is a recurring issue. Get you on autoship and jump the price astronomically over night. Not happy.

I am very happy with the Nutrena SafeChoice Mare and Foal Formula. I like the Nutrena SafeChoice products because they provide controlled starch formulas. The SafeChoice Mare and Foal Formula provides not only carefully balanced nutrients, including a balanced Calcium/Phosphorous ratio, but also contains digestive support in the form of pre, as well as post-biotics. I LOVE that it contains Topline Balance as I was already feeding this Nutrena product as a balancer for my horses and they have done very well on it. Last, but definitely not least... our Andalusian yearling loves it! He doesn't take his head out of his feed bucket until he has eaten every little bit. I use a small bit as a reward for good behavior when ground training. I gave a little to my mature horses as a treat and they all really seemed to like it as well. I think this is a great product for developing young horses.

I have used the Nutrena Mare and Foal feed for about a week now. The mare and foal both seem to love eating this product. They have maintained weight and had no issues eating this. It’s has the very best smelling pellets and i like that it’s not sticky and heavy. I like the ingredients listed and the protein and fat content for my growing baby and mare raising a strong nursing foal. I will continue to feed this feed to the foal beyond weaning and plan to swap over my in foal mare to this feed too. It’s a nice product

Our local feed store was out of this product and as horse people know, you cannot change feed overnight. I ordered feed and had it the next morning so my girl didn't miss a meal. Product was fresh and delivered quickly, who could ask for more?

This food arrived securely in its bag. It was easy open and in good condition. The feed wasn't crushed/crumbled from shipping. It is hard to say from one bag shared between two horses what the long term benefits would show, but I can say they loved it. It was a pelleted (not sweet) feed, which is my preferred food. The horses gobbled it up, without a crumb to spare, and they are picky eaters when it comes to feed. I do not have any complaints about this horse feed whatsoever.
