How We Make Better Horse Feed
Nutrition Backed by Science
Every Running Horse® formula is thoughtfully designed to support healthy digestion, consistent energy, and overall horse wellness. By combining low non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) with 100% extrusion technology, we create feeds that are easier to digest and more efficient for your horse.
The Power of Extrusion
Unlike traditional pelleted feeds, extrusion gently cooks ingredients using heat, moisture, and pressure before shaping each nugget.
This process creates a feed that is easier for horses to digest while improving nutrient availability.
-
Cooking starches makes them easier to digest in the small intestine, allowing your horse to absorb more nutrients where they are most beneficial.
-
Extrusion helps unlock nutrients by breaking down complex proteins and carbohydrates, making them more available to your horse.
-
Better starch digestion means fewer undigested carbohydrates reach the hindgut, helping reduce excess fermentation and digestive disturbances.
-
The expanded structure of extruded feed encourages horses to chew more thoroughly.
More chewing means:
Increased saliva production
Improved digestion
Better feed utilization
-
Extruded feed is lighter and less dense than pellets, making it easier to chew while providing more volume per serving.
Why Extrusion Is Better
Why Low NSC Matters
Consistent Energy. Better Digestive Health.
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC)—primarily sugars and starches—provide quick energy but excessive amounts may contribute to digestive and metabolic issues in some horses.
RUNNING HORSE® feeds are formulated with naturally low NSC levels, similar to quality grasses and other low-glycemic feeds.
Benefits of Low NSC
Supports healthy digestion
Helps maintain steady energy levels
Supports metabolic health
Helps reduce the risk of digestive upset
Comparable to quality forage
