How We Make Better Horse Feed
FIXED FORMULA
A fixed formula means the recipe stays the same—not just the nutrient levels. By using consistent ingredients in every batch, RUNNING HORSE® helps support healthy digestion, reliable performance, and peace of mind with every feeding.
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.
Why Extrusion Is Better
-
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 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.
