My thoroughbred does well on it but it’s so expensive it’s $26 a bag
I really love Seminole’s feed. I was going to suggest the most comparable that I personally know of (but know there are MANY other, I’m sure) would be Purina’s Ultium. I pay $24 a bag, though, and honestly for the $2 price difference would ABSOLUTELY keep my horse on Dynasport. Hope you find something!
Nutrena’s Pro Force Fiber is probably the closest thing out there (13% fat instead of 14%), but I can’t imagine it’s much less expensive.
You get what you pay for. High fat, low starch feeds made with quality ingredients are expensive. I feed Dynasport, pay $24.35/bag, and wouldn’t switch for the world. If I tried something cheaper I’d end up feeding 6-7 bags a month instead of 4, so it all evens out.
Here is my feed experience for my hard working OTTB.
-
TC Senior. 10-12 lbs a day and was still losing weight during his hardest working months.
-
TC Complete. Same as above.
-
Nutrena ProForce Fuel. 8 lbs a day he maintained his weight, but his skin and hooves went to pot.
-
Seminole Wellness Dynasport. I started at 5 lbs a day during his off season. He gained weight weekly. He started training a bit more, so I added an extra pound, and as his worked increased some more I added one more pound. I was thinking he would level off on his weight gain due to the increase in work, or maybe start to lose due to the increase in work…well I’ve dropped him back to 5 lbs a day.

There’s a feed I found at tractor supply called Sentinel Performance LS by blue seal it has 12% Fat and it’s $22 a bag has anybody fed that before
jawa, that’s impressive. Beautiful horse with a sweet, sweet face.
My farrier was so impressed with the change in my horse, he put one of his hard keeping boarders on it. 5 weeks in, the horse has gone from eating 8lbs of feed a day to 5lbs.
He was amazed at the thickness of my horse’s hoof wall this shoeing. There was also a noticeable difference in how the nails went into the hoof.
