Redmond Rock Daily Gold - palatability?

[Lusoluv]

For those who’ve used Redmond Daily Gold for ulcer prevention, was it at all difficult to get fussy horses to eat it? After a round of Nexium this spring, I put my horse on Uckele GUT supplement powder. She’s kind of picky, compared to my “I’ll eat anything” air fern gelding. She gets a handful of grain and 1 lb alfalfa pellets, vit/flax/MSM at feeding time, so there’s not a lot of camouflage to hide her supps.

I’m thinking of switching to Redmond after reading a lot of glowing reviews. Though my horse hasn’t presented strong ulcer symptoms since the spring, I’m getting a few hints that they could be brewing and trying to head them off at the pass. I figured it can’t hurt to try something different. UGard is also on my radar…

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Sorry can’t help with regard to Daily Gold but I did put my horse on Leg Up Stomach pellets from Smartpak. They are cheap, effective and palatable.

Had no trouble with my super picky one, although he gets a fair bit more grain than yours.

My horse would not eat it. He somehow managed to sift it off his grain so it ended up on the bottom of the bucket. So much for that.

Ugard intensified his symptoms. So much for that!

U7 liquid worked well. It is a pain to feed, so we switched to U7 powder. It didn’t work as well, quite possibly because it mostly ended up in the bottom of the bucket (see above!). So back to U7 liquid and he’s doing well.

Horses!

I have several on it, including gone very picky mare, that all eat it. One horse gets it on his 1 cup of ration balancer and I just splash a little water on it and he licks it right up. Have had great results with it!

Well it sounds like I should just go ahead and try the Redmond supp. At the price point, I guess there’s really no big loss if my horse doesn’t like it. The recommendation for the Leg Up Stomach pellets is intriguing too, at about the same cost. That one hadn’t crossed my radar, so thank you!

I’ve got an unopened bag and another 1/2 bag - let me know if you want it and I’ll send it to you.
