I've been looking at both of these feeds for quite awhile now. I was hoping some of you might have tried both. Which one do you like better & why?
Thanks!
Thanks!
What was the reason your vet wanted you to switch to "regular"? I started using Lite Balance a couple months ago and would like to know the pros and cons of it.We started out using Nutrena's Lite Balance, but the vet said we needed to switch to 'regular' so we went to the Safe Choice and have been feeding that for about 4 months now. They love it.
I fed TC products. The TC-30 is the only one I had problems with. The bag tag wasn't accurate and come to find out the bags had sat around for a year before it was sold to me. I'm in Michigan. This may not be the case in other states. This happened with a number of bags purchased over a 9 month time frame. Triple Crown did give me a coupon for a free bag but when that bag came with the same inaccurate tag and the same OLD product I discontinued using it.For the longest time we fed Nutrena products...SafeChoice was one of them. We have switched to TC. A lot due to the fact that they are a fixed formula feed, but we are using several types of TC. Growth for our standardbred brood mares and my mini weanling/yearlings....Lite for the rest of the minis and we mix in the low starch for everyone and a little bit of the senior, as I have an old blind rescue B size mini. I like the TC products extremely well.....if you ever have any problems with any of their products, you just let them know and they are right on it.

What do you feed with it, anything besides the grass/alfalfa? I tried Natures Essentials for awhile but never found a good balance that I liked. I hate cutting out the grain or pellets altogether, esp for the "working" horses (and I use the term loosely LOL)But I started feeding Natures Eccentials (Born to Win) and my miniatures love it
I was wondering about that too. I've never been able to find "the right thing." They are too wound up & mean on the ration balancer I have them on now. It's a good product (seminole equalizer) but I don't think I like the 32% protein...they have never behaved like this before & I know that's why. I've given it enough time (1 month) & just don't like it. I'm really afraid of anything more than 10-12% protein (for that reason & my vet says they don't need anything higher.) I've tried EVERYTHING out there & can't find the right balance. They're either too fat or too hyper. Just curious about the low starch & safechoice...i haven't tried any of the ones above 12%. I tried the nutrena litebalance, but not long enough to give it a chance. I really prefer something with beet pulp, but have tried ones without also. Tried tc lite, but they didn't like it too much. They seem to get fat on air & need just a handful to keep them happy, unless it was the ration balancer type feeds.We started out using Nutrena's Lite Balance, but the vet said we needed to switch to 'regular' so we went to the Safe Choice and have been feeding that for about 4 months now.
