supplement question ?

I am feeding my horses buckeye grow n win as a supplement to their normal diet which is grass pasture in the summer, and a grass and alfalfa hay in the winter. I’ve been happy with it so far. I don’t compete with my horses, they are just trail horses at the moment, so they are not high performance at all. My question is, is there any other horse feed brands that you know of that compares to buckeye in protein content etc? I don’t know much about how all that works, so if you know any good websites or articles on horse feed and nutrition also would be great. The reason I am possible looking at switching feeds is because I can get some brands wholesale price through a company that the place i work for uses, and it would be sweet if I could find one that was comparable to buckeye that I could get for way cheaper. I hope that makes sense? Thanks.

Unless your horse has a particular health problem and your vet has suggested a supplement then why are you even feeding a supplement. You say that the horses get grass in summer and grass and alfalfa hay in the winter. You do not compete,…you are wasting your money on supplements that your horses do not need. Of course all of the ads and tack stores push the stuff and want to sell it…it is their lively hood. But it is your horse and your money that you should be concerned with. If the horses are healthy and eating well. do well on the trail with the grass and hay…forget the supplements. There may become a time when they really need it, then you can talk to the vet about it.
