Makes our hearts so happy 💚 Big John is such a special boy. Colby’s Crew takes the best care of their horses. Looking to adopt? Call Colby’s Crew Rescue!
HOW DOES BIG JOHN STAY BIG?
A lot of people ask what we feed 3000lb ~30 year old Big John to keep him looking so fat, healthy and happy (and shiny).
Big John recently had a couple of tooth extractions (normal for his age) and some age related bladder complications — he never dropped a pound thanks to ’s EQ8 Senior.
EQ8 Senior is what we feed all of our senior horses here at CCR.
Why?
This feed is specifically formulated to help older horses stay strong, keep weight on, and feel their best. It’s gentle and gut-friendly, so it’s easy on your senior’s system.
It also features the exclusive WELL-GUT ingredient blend that targets both the stomach and hindgut with a powerful trio of nutrients—marine-sourced calcium, heat-stabilized yeast, and active live probiotics.
This nutritious blend helps support healthy digestion and overall well-being and also helps keep your horse’s appetite strong, even if they’re feeling picky. This feed is also made with 14% protein and 10% fat to be easy to digest, and it’s packed with the calories older horses need to maintain their muscle and overall body condition.
Plus, it’s fortified with GRO ‘N WIN balanced essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals for complete nutrition without overfeeding.
We never review products we don’t believe in (even when offered some lucrative brand deals to do so) and we were not asked to nor received any additional compensation for writing this post.
Thanks BUCKEYE Nutrition for keeping the biggest horse in the world feeling and looking his absolute best.
Ignore his cute little yellow nose. He was on some medication for his bladder irritation and it stained him, his bestie Cotton, and everything within nudging distance mustard yellow 😂
