My horses look amazing!

I switched to the enrich plus about a year ago now after my horses were both diagnosted with pssm1. They are both easy keepers. And this has really transformed them. I highly recommend for people wanting to make sure their horses are getting whats needed. Amazing what only a lb per day can do!

Great results

Recently switched one of my senior horses to this feed with great success. He was declining a bit in weight and the ability to eat and utilize his feed and this product resolved those problems. He looks great and loves this feed.
