"I love Unbeetable feeds. My horses think it tastes great. It soaks super fast for horses with bad teeth and horse who bolt feed."

— Michelle

"I had two horses end up with iron overload laminitis when I added this feed to their diet. I was so happy to find a low sugar complete feed but I will never use it again and do not recommend. The iron content was not listed on the bag! Had to call the company to find out."
