Description

Give a working horse the calories it needs without pushing protein higher than the diet calls for. Inspire Peak Performance 12 Textured Horse Feed is a 12% protein textured ration for horses in work that are already getting good quality hay or pasture. It is a sensible match for barns feeding legume or mixed hay, where the forage carries plenty of protein on its own and what the horse really needs from the bucket is energy and balanced fortification. The textured grain and pellet blend keeps it palatable so horses finish the meal you measured.

Key Features

  • 12% Protein: A moderate level that suits horses already receiving protein rich hay or pasture.
  • Built for Work: Aimed at horses in regular riding, showing, or ranch work rather than idle turnout.
  • Textured Blend: Grain and fortified pellets combined for the acceptance a busy horse needs at feeding time.
  • Balanced Vitamins and Minerals: Fortification is built into the ration, so the basics are covered when you feed at the recommended rate.
  • Pairs with Forage: Designed to complete a hay or pasture based diet rather than stand alone.
  • Higher Protein Option: A 14% textured version is available for horses on grass hay or in heavier work.
  • Fifty Pound Bag: A practical size for regular feeding without letting the bag sit too long.

How to Use

Feed by body weight and workload with free choice hay or pasture, weighing the ration rather than relying on a scoop. Divide the daily amount into at least two meals, keep any single meal under about five pounds for an average horse, and adjust up or down every couple of weeks based on body condition and how the horse is working. Introduce the feed gradually over seven to ten days, replacing about a quarter of the old ration at a time. Keep clean, fresh water and plain salt available at all times, and store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place safely out of reach of loose horses.

Look at your hay first. Horses eating alfalfa or a good mixed hay usually have enough protein coming from forage, which makes the 12% a sound match, while horses on mature grass hay or in heavier work often do better on the 14%.
Start from your horse's body weight and workload, then fine tune by body condition over the following weeks. Weigh the feed once with a kitchen or feed scale so you know what your scoop actually holds.
Most older horses handle a textured ration fine as long as their teeth are sound and they chew normally. Seniors that quid their hay or drop grain are usually better served by a feed designed to be soaked or by a dedicated senior ration.
A textured feed can be dampened with warm water to make it easier to eat and to slow down a horse that bolts its grain. Mix only what will be eaten right away, since a wet feed spoils quickly in warm weather.
