The Veterinarians at Creekside have spent several months working with O.H. Kruse and Dr. Thompson testing the diets to insure proper formulation and palatability. It is our goal to provide our clients with a simple to use, total nutrition program that we believe so strongly in, we put our name and reputation behind it. We believe that these two products can meet and exceed the nutrient requirements of most horses in our practice. By knowing our program inside and out we can now offer sound nutritional advice on your feeding program because we know exactly what’s in the bag. We are offering two diets currently, The Creekside Horse Concentrate Pellet and the Creekside Life Stages Pellet; both are unique to the marketplace.

About the ingredients:
By using a base of high quality proteins and digestible fibers we have built two products using cutting edge nutritional advances to meet the needs of breeding stock, juveniles and performance horses that will work in conjunction with your forage choice whether it is grass, alfalfa or grain based. We start with knowing your horses demanding mineral requirements and use a combination of Bio-Plex organic (Chelated) and inorganic mineral combinations to provide for maximum absorption and performance. We have also added Sel-Plex, an organic source of selenium to insure the selenium demands are met, where forages can fall short. In addition we have added Yea-Sacc 1026, a strain of yeast that has been proven to help fiber digestibility and reduce the incidence of Colic in high forage and grain based diets. Not to leave anything out we are adding the protection of MTB 100, a Mycotoxin binder that can help control the effects of mold and toxins coming from forage, grains and pastures that are prevalent in almost any setting. All of the added protection teamed with proper protein to energy balance will be a winner for you and your horses.

There are two formulas:

Creekside Horse Concentrate Pellet - A pelleted feed designed to complement grain and forage diets.

Creekside Horse Life Stages Pellet - A pelleted feed designed to meet the nutritional needs of all lifestyles of horses.
