"Before 2023-10-09T22:36:24.000Z I am never feeding anything else, ever. Quality feed, horse is happy. She looks the best she ever has. Great company and they have so much information available about the feed and the process and how and why it works the way it does."
"Mold can kill a horse! Total Equine should have recalled this feed once they found out this lot was affected by a broken fan during production (this is what Chewy told me was noted on this feed when I called to complain). Lot 25148 - best by date 05/28/26"
