How Is Cowboy's Choice Red Different From Other Horse Feeds?

Many horse feeds focus on only one aspect of nutrition. Some provide vitamins and minerals, others add calories, and many horse owners must purchase separate supplements to support gut health.

Cowboy's Choice Red was developed to bridge that gap by combining nutrition, calories, and digestive support into one complete fiber-first feeding program.

How Cowboy's Choice Red Compares

Ration Balancers

  • Provide concentrated vitamins and minerals
  • Typically contribute minimal calories for weight gain or conditioning

Traditional Low-Starch Feeds

  • Reduce starch levels
  • Often still rely on grain-based energy sources

Beet Pulp or Rice Bran Alone

  • Provide useful fiber and calories
  • Are not designed to be complete feeds

Cowboy's Choice Red

  • Combines digestible fiber, calories, nutrition, and hindgut support
  • Uses fermentation-friendly fiber as the primary energy source
  • Supports performance while working with the horse's natural digestive system

Why Choose a Fiber-First Horse Feed?

A horse's digestive system is designed to utilize forage and fermentable fiber. Cowboy's Choice Red uses fiber as its primary energy source to help support hindgut health while delivering the calories and nutrients horses need for daily work, conditioning, and performance.
