What are the best horse feed pellets?

The best horse feed pellets depend on your horse's needs. Medalist Feed offers high-protein, grain-free, and low-starch options, perfect for performance, senior, and easy-keeper horses.

Are high-protein horse pellets good for muscle growth?

Yes, high-protein pellets support muscle growth, especially in performance or working horses. Medalist Feed's pellets contain quality protein from alfalfa and sprouted grains.

Is organic horse feed better?

Organic horse feed can be beneficial for horses with sensitivities or owners seeking non-GMO, pesticide-free ingredients. Our sprout pellets are naturally grown without added chemicals.

What is the difference between pelleted and textured horse feed?

Pelleted feed is uniform, less dusty, and easier to digest than textured feed. It's great for reducing sorting and ensuring consistent nutrient intake.

What’s the best horse feed for weight gain?

Look for high-fiber, high-fat feeds like alfalfa pellets or blends with beet pulp and rice bran. Medalist Feed’s sprout and alfalfa pellets are ideal for safe weight gain.

How should I feed a senior horse?

Senior horses often need soft, digestible pellets with added fat, fiber, and joint support. Our sprout-based pellets are gentle on aging digestive systems.

Which horse feed supports endurance performance?

Endurance horses benefit from feed rich in slow-release energy, electrolytes, and fat. Low-starch pellets with sprouts or beet pulp are excellent for sustained energy.

What type of feed helps a horse get a shiny coat?

Feeds rich in omega-3s, vitamin E, and natural oils promote a shiny coat. Our sprout pellets help improve skin and coat condition naturally.

What is a good low-sugar or low-starch horse feed?

Grain-free, forage-based pellets are best for low-starch, low-sugar diets. Medalist Feed's sprout and alfalfa pellets are ideal for metabolic or laminitic horses.

Is grain-free horse feed necessary?

Grain-free feed is helpful for horses with metabolic issues, laminitis, or Cushing’s. Our sprouted grain and alfalfa blends are naturally low in NSC.

What’s the best horse feed for digestive health?

Look for feeds with prebiotics, probiotics, and easy-to-digest fiber. Sprouted grains in our pellets are highly digestible and support gut flora.

Are affordable horse feed options still high quality?

Yes. Buying in bulk or by the pallet can significantly reduce cost. Medalist Feed offers affordable, nutrient-rich pellets direct from the source.

Can horse feed help prevent laminitis?

Yes. A low-starch, grain-free diet can reduce laminitis risk. Our sprout and alfalfa pellets are low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC).

Do you offer bulk horse feed or custom blends?

Yes! We offer bulk pricing for pallets and super sacks, plus custom blends to meet specific herd or performance needs.

What are the best horse feed brands?

Look for brands that focus on digestibility, freshness, and proven nutrition. Medalist Feed offers premium-quality pellets backed by research and customer trust.

Fodder-fueled feed

What is sprout fodder and why does it matter?

Our sprout fodder is a luscious mat of sprouted barley seed grown fresh all year long. The Sprouting processes delivers better digestibility, nutrient absorption, and gut health for horses — now conveniently available in pellet form exclusively from Medalist Feed. Think of it like an upgrade to traditional alfalfa pellets!

Love love these sprouted pellets

Love love these sprouted pellets, and so do my horses. My horses look great and they all look forward to meal time with no pickiness. Changing them over with simple, it only took a day or two before most figured it out and they don't leave anything behind.

My horse is 34 years old

My horse is 34 years old. He needs his food softened because he is losing his back teeth. He loves his sprout cereal! And he doesn't look a day over 25!!
