My go-to to restore rescues.
I started driving miniature horses about 8 years ago. I purchased a tiny, skinny, driving stallion. As soon as the vet took a look at him he gave his seal of disapproval. He wouldn’t geld him due to his poor condition. He told me to feed him TC Safe Starch forage and I wouldn’t have any issues. I did as instructed and my mini, Cricket, has turned out to be a great and healthy driving mini.
My old horse will not even try this product. He sniffs it and tosses it out the way. I wish he would eat it as it looks really nice, however it does not have a nice scent to it.
My super picky hard keeper loves this! Helps promote him to chew his grain more. Plus, he is SUPER particular about hay, and this he LOVES.
My 21 y.o. Peruvian mare had a history of laminitis prior to my adopting her. Now she's on Safe Starch, plus some hay and is doing great! Even the dogs like it & clean up what she misses.

1. One cellulase unit (CU) is defined as the amount of activity that will produce a relative fluidity change of 1 (determined with a calibrated viscometer) in 5 minutes in a defined carboxymethylcellulose substrate at pH 4.5 and 40°C.
2. One hemoglobin unit (HUT) of proteolytic (protease) activity is defined as that amount of enzyme that produces, in one minute under the specified conditions, a hydrolysate whose absorbance at 275nm is the same as that of a solution containing 1.10g per mL of tyrosine in 0.006N hydrochloric acid.
3. All Triple Crown feeds have fixed ingredient formulas. Values reflect an estimated analysis of multiple feed samples from across the U.S. with the understanding that geographic differences can impact the results. Estimated values determined by Equi-Analytical, Ithaca, NY.
