My Mare just kicked one of the yearlings!!!!!

Ok, so on the surface, that title may not seem like a good thing, but I am excited!!!! The mare in question has arthritis in her back hocks. The right leg is fully fused in the center joint. The yearlings can be jerks (what youngster doesn’t test the boundaries), and have figured out that as long as they stay away from her teeth they can act however they want. I am very skeptical of glucosamine products and have never really seen much of a result. However, about two months ago I saw this product and figured that for a few extra dollars I would give it a whirl. I feed 1lb per day per horse. After 30 days, I noticed one of my geldings was moving better than normal under saddle. I was still skeptical that the grain was doing anything. Then this morning my yearling got kicked. I haven’t seen my mare stomp at a fly in over a year, let along actually strike at anything. This morning, the little brat baby attempted to shoulder in behind the mare to push her away from the hay. The mare picked up her hind right and firmly reminded the young’n that she is still boss mare. I don’t know who was more shocked, me or the yearling but I am definitely sold. This is a great product!!!!

I purchased Tribute Essential K GC Plus for my 24 year old walking horse mare. Because it comes with joint supplement in it and it's low starch low sugar. I feel that my horses do not need that extra starch and sugar from their grain, they get more than enough from the grass. Before I started Tribute my mare was loosing weight, and her coat was dull. I purchased Tribute in February. She's been on it now 3 months. Her weights picked back up, her coat looks healthy and shiny. I highly recommend Tribute Feed. I also recommend going to their website they have an equine nutritionist who can help you choose which grain your horse would benefit from, and give you a recommended amount to feed.

Bodhi had been fed this prior to his coming to me and, as he is an older pony, I like that the glucosamine is included in the feed. This is mostly a top feed for a large pony who has good grazing available. Works well

Tasty feed

I like the added biotin & joint ingredients in this feed, it simplifies my barn recipes a lot. Horses all seem to like it, and I do have a couple of picky ones.

This product didn’t work out for me.

I have fed Tribute Essential K and my horses did well on it. I switched to GC Plus hoping it would provide the joint support I was looking for, but it made my horse

I have fed Tribute Essential K and my horses did well on it. I switched to GC Plus hoping it would provide the joint support I was looking for, but it made my horse have ulcer-like symptoms. I like Tribute feeds because my horses love eating it, it soaks well when needed, and I could supplement it with oats for extra energy. But something about the GC Plus version of the Essential K did NOT sit well with my horse’s stomach. I switched feeds to a local brand called Equine Excel and his ulcer symptoms have gone away, and he does not have watery stools anymore. I wish this product would have worked for us. I would recommend Tribute feeds- but NOT the GC plus.

Using this product as supplement to hopefully bring a 28 year old miniature horse into better condition. She is a foster and being fed 3 times daily, wet feed, missing over half her teeth. Also other medical issues. She always eats the entire meal when this product is added and seems to love it. Pray for her.
