"I always say, "you get what you pay for". Hygain is a superior product in my opinion. Yes, more expensive then Purina( would never feed to my animals) but worth ever penny. Read the ingredients list and how they process the grains. I also feed the Hygain blue bag(low starch/sugar) to my horse with C..."
"I really wanted to love this feed. But the NSC is 38% and my senior horse was spooking at everything. Even rearing on the lead line. Unfortunately, I had to take him off of it after a week. The sugar content is just too high."
Bottom Line
Hygain Senior Horse Feed is a solid choice for senior horses, especially those with allergies. The quality is excellent, but buyers should consider the sugar content and the higher cost.
