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.

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.

Storage

To keep your pellets fresh and effective, we recommend only buying what you’ll use in about 3 months. Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Make sure the bag stays covered but not sealed airtight—pellets like to breathe a little. And whatever you do, don’t let them get wet—moisture is their sworn enemy.

Choke-free

Our pellets are small and we don't add any binders which keeps them soft. This eliminates the risk of choke without necessitating the soaking of pellets. However, if desired, you can still opt to soak them to provide your animal with additional hydration.

Easy and space saving

Put down that pitchfork. With pellets you won't need to break down hay bales or deal with the mess and waste. Pellets are easy to store and take up a fraction of the space as hay (1/5 the space!).

Nutrient-dense

Alfalfa contains more protein and calcium than other hays and has a better flavor that most horses eat right up!

How much should I feed my horse?

1% to 2% of your horse's body weight per day (10-20 lbs a day for a 1000 lb horse)

Weight

Activity Level

You should feed your horse about 15 pounds per day

One super sack should last 100 days
