Legends® Performance Pelleted Horse Feed
A pelleted feed for mature horses in high energy demand situations, such as racing, performance or rigorous training.
Features & Benefits
- Organic trace minerals for improvement of skeletal, muscle, reproductive and immiune system function.
- Added biotin for greater hoof and hair growth.
- Elevated fat content and lysolecithin additive for lower feeding rate, improved muscle function, increased body condition and better haircoat.
- Yeast culture for increased fiber digestion and improved nutrient absorption.
- Added rice bran and flaxseed for increased calories and improved omega-3 fatty acid content.
- Fixed ingredient formulas for consistent palatability and less colic risk.
- Digestible fiber sources and low levels of sugar and starch for calm behavior and prevention of colic, laminitis and insulin resistance.
- Guaranteed amino acid fortification for improved protein quality to maintain and repair active muscle tissue.
- Increased levels of antioxidants for optimal immune system function and muscle function.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS
Feed grain at regular intervals and at least twice daily. The amount of feed to provide depends on forage quality and horse factors such as activity level or stage of growth or reproduction.
To maintain desired condition, you may need to increase or decrease feeding rate of LEGENDS® Performance Pelleted. Changes should be made gradually, and no more than a 10% adjustment at one time.
- Prevent horses from consuming large quantities of grain in a short period of time.
- Delay or reduce feeding of grain to horses that are hot or excited.
- Periodically weigh feed to ensure proper amounts are being fed.
- Do not feed spoiled or moldy feed. Store feed in a cool dry area protected from rodents and insects.
- Insure adequate water intake at all times except immediately following intense exercise.
- Offer Southern States' "Equimin" granular or block to horses free choice.
- Follow a sound program of vaccination and internal/external parasite control as recommended by your veterinarian.
- NOTE: Do not permit intake of supplemental selenium to exceed 0.3 ppm in the total ration.

Controlled Carbohydrate Technology TM is a research based formulation technique that utilizes digestible fiber sources and vegetable oils, in combination with precise grain selection, to create low-starch, low-sugar horse feeds. Lower starch and sugar levels (soluble carbohydrates) have been shown to reduce the risk of insulin resistance, colic and founder. It also promotes proper bone development in growing horses, improved muscle performance and calmer behavior.
