Signature Prime: High-Fat, No-Corn Beet Pulp Feed for Weight, Condition & Seniors
Signature Prime (formerly called Senior Elite) is built on a beet pulp base with added fat and balanced fortification — a great everyday feed when stability and condition matter more than intense, fast energy.
This is a no-corn, high-fat textured feed ideal for horses needing:
- Weight gain or maintenance
- Senior horses with good teeth
- Horses in light to moderate work needing gentle energy
- Mature horses needing extra condition without high grain
Common Problems Signature Prime Helps Solve
Owners choose Prime to address issues like:
- Hard keepers or horses that lose condition
- Horses transitioning to lighter work
- Seniors that still chew but need calories
- Recovery from injury, illness, or time off
- Daily feeding that supports gut comfort
Prime delivers calories without corn, relying on highly digestible fiber and fat for energy.
How Signature Prime Works
Signature Prime combines key nutritional principles that support condition and digestive comfort:
- Beet pulp–based energy: Slow-release calories that support weight and condition.
- No corn: Lower reliance on starch for horses that don’t need high grain.
- High fat: Calorie-dense for weight gain and maintaining condition.
- Organic selenium + natural Vitamin E: Support antioxidant balance and overall health.
- Textured form: Palatable and familiar to many horses.
This blend makes Prime suitable for mature horses and easy keepers without adding excess starch or creating energy spikes.
