Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.

Hi April,
It looks fine -- though I am not familiar with "BOSS" -- please let me know what that is.
I assume that you are also providing hay and/or pasture 24/7, clean water at all times, and a plain salt lick?
The basic ingredients of this diet seem sound, though they may need fine-tuning depending on your horse's weight, age, condition, health issues, and exercise level. So, if he is doing well, stay with your plan and I'm pleased that you've switched to Nutra Flax, since it does not contain added grain (Omega Horseshine has added oats).
All the best,
Dr. Getty 
Sorry Dr Getty.. BOSS = black oil sunflower seeds. Thank you.

And forgot to add, yes pasture/hay 24/7 with access to salt block and always fresh water.
