We all want our horses performing and feeling their best! Even our horses that aren’t under work deserve to feel good. Did you know most of us are feeding our horses tons and tons of inflammatory causing ingredients?! Below is just a list of examples of inflammatory causing ingredients that are common in most grains ⬇️
❌Grains(Oats,Rye, Grain, Corn, Barley, Wheat)
❌Grain Bye Products( Rice Hulls, Corn Gluten Meal, Distillers Dried Grains, Distillers Grains, Wheat Middlings, Oat Hulls, Roughage Products, Wheat Millrun)
❌ Soybean, Plant Protein Products, Soybean Hulls, Soy Lecithin, Extruded Whole Soybeans, Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil
❌ Seed Oils(Canola, Canola Meal, Rapeseed Meal, Rapeseed Oils, Soy Oil, Vegetable Oil, Rice Bran Oil)
❌Sugar/Starch(Molasses, Cane Molasses, Molasses, Glucose)
All of the above play a major role in the development and worsening of horses' health issues, such as:

Do not feed these to your horse 🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
So when selecting a feed these are the things to check off the list & Dove Feed is just the feed for you!
✅You want to choose a feed free of inflammatory causing ingredients like listed above to avoid havoc on your horses health.
✅You want to pick a feed that has minerals/vitamins in a bioavailable form that horses can digest and absorb.
✅ You also want to choose a low NSC to avoid the digestive nightmare. Staying below 10% is a good rule of thumb.
✅ Make sure to check your alfalfa pellets and cubes as well- Dove is CLEAN 🧼
