Bluebonnet Feeds question!

I’m not looking for suggestions for other brands of feed or anything just wanting to see if anyone has any experience with the Horseman’s Elite line or the Equilene line.

I started my reining horse and cowhorse/ranch horse on the Equilene Pelleted 2 months ago and I like it, they’re doing well on it but the place where I buy it, raised their price on it per bag and I was just wanting to see if there is that much of a difference in the Horseman’s Elite pelleted besides price or if I should stick with the Equilene. I’ve just seen a lot of reining guys use the Horseman’s Elite and wondered if there was a reason! If you have advice or suggestions please let me know!
Thank you

I like the ingredients of the Equilene much better than the Elite… no corn, and they don’t list NSC but based on the ingredients of the Equilene is probably lower than the Elite :wink:

They do have the NSC listed for all of their feed now!
Equilene pelleted is: 5% Sugar + 11% Starch which makes a NSC% of 16.
Horseman’s Elite pelleted is: 3% Sugar + 17% Starch which makes a NSC% of 20.
So yes you are correct, that’s why I went with the Equilene in the first place! I will probably just stick with it, I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts! Thank you
