Triple Crown Complete is only 20% NSC. Is this still considered high for ulcer prone horses? I am only feeding 1.5-2 lbs/twice per day. Triple Crown Senior is 11.7% NSC which is an option. Triple Crown Low Starch is 13.5% NSC, but I would prefer to stay with textured rather than pellet as it mixes better with my mineral supplement.

Purina WellSolve L/S has 975 ppm iron!! Not an option.

Per Equi Analytical, looks like beet pulp, if you don't rinse it, has quite high iron content. If rinsed first you can get the iron down to around 250 ppm. Not that much lower than Triple Crown Complete so for the hassle I will probably go with Complete or the Senior.

Finding something low carb and low iron is frustrating! Appreciate your feedback.

Lisa, have you considered the Triple Crown Lite? I use it (with the exception of my 29 yr. appy who get's TC senior) and just love it.

Thanks for the suggestion Vicky. But the Triple Crown Lite has a minimum of 515 ppm of iron. Still way too high for my situation, even though the feeding rate is only 2 lbs/day. And I don't think my barrel racing horses would maintain weight on this either.

Hi Lisa,

I suggest going with the Senior since 20%NSC, while not overly high, will still promote more acid production than a feed with a lower NSC.
