*For any horse that has had laminitis, NSC should be 15 or less, ideally 10 or so. And low energy really helps keep the weight in control.

**For a Senior horse that has had laminitis, and may have Cushing’s, low carb is important but they have a higher energy need.

Coming soon: Vital Edge by Ranchway Defiance: A balanced vitamin/mineral feed that is extremely low NSC and low cal. Fed at 1/2 pound twice daily with NO OTHER CONCENTRATE OR SUPPLEMENTS. Just hay.
