Cool Stride — Low-Starch Textured Feed for Easy Keepers & Barns

Horse owners frequently choose Cool Stride to help with common challenges such as:

• Managing calories for easy keepers without overloading on grain
• Providing steady energy that doesn’t spike blood sugar
• Supporting horses with digestive sensitivity or gastric ulcer risk

• Offering balanced nutrition in boarding barn settings where feeding simplicity matters

Cool Stride’s formulation emphasizes buffering calcium and low starch to help promote digestive comfort and metabolic stability.

Cool Stride delivers balanced energy through a blend of fiber-rich ingredients and added nutritional support:

• Low NSC (~12.4%) to minimize metabolic and digestive disruption

• CalSea — a marine-based calcium source that helps buffer stomach acid and support gastric comfort

• Organic chromium to aid in stress response and support glucose utilization

• Probiotics, natural-source vitamin E, and organic selenium for digestive and antioxidant support

• Textured form that many horses readily accept

These features help Cool Stride provide steady, reliable nutrition for horses that do not require high grain or high-starch diets, while supporting overall digestive function.
