Thrive Feed
Unlocking the Secret to Optimal Equine Nutrition
Introduction
Thrive Feed is more than just a horse feed; it is the answer to every trainer’s dream—a feed that fosters focus, relaxation, and controlled energy in our horses.
At the heart of Thrive Feed lies a profound understanding of the horse’s digestive system and its unique dietary needs. This exceptional equine nutrition product is the culmination of a lifetime’s devotion, with Dale Moulton at the helm. It is a feed that perfectly mimics the natural equine diet. Rather than causing disruption, this feed has been designed to foster harmony, ensuring horses receive the nutrition they need to thrive.
When horses consume Thrive Feed, their bodies recognise it as a mirror image of what a wild horse would find in its natural habitat – native vegetation like grasses, leaves, weeds, and bark. This innovative feed, therefore, offers a nutritionally balanced solution that connects horses with their evolutionary dietary roots. Thrive Feed’s success is not driven by magic or hidden ingredients but by its ability to deliver consistent and impressive results.
One of Thrive Feed’s remarkable attributes is its ability to transform horses, instilling in them a newfound sense of focus and tranquillity, all while maintaining controlled and dynamic energy levels. Owners have marvelled at the rapid transformation of unbroken horses after just two weeks of Thrive Feed introduction, leading to soft and relaxed riding within a week or so. The key revelation in this transformation is the acknowledgment that nutrition often takes precedence as the overlooked first step in the training journey for both trainers and vets.
Perfectly balanced with the horse’s metabolism.
Thrive Feed has been meticulously formulated and processed to deliver potent and predictable results. The core principle guiding this approach is a harmonious alignment with a horse’s metabolism. A horse’s digestive system operates within specific requirements, and attempting to deviate from nature’s principles can yield unintended consequences. Thrive Feed prioritizes the natural state of homeostasis, or dynamic balance, in which horses thrive. This equilibrium can be compromised when unsuitable products enter the equation such as supplements or the wrong feed.
A Holistic Approach to Equine Nutrition with Pure, Natural Ingredients
These days when we care for our horses the trend is to focus on symptom relief through supplements rather than addressing the fundamental dietary needs of horses. What if we could return to the roots of equine nutrition, potentially eliminating the need for costly supplements? Imagine reducing expenses while maintaining optimal horse nutrition. It is essential to note that horses in their natural state, roaming freely in pastures, do not experience conditions like Cushing’s, insulin resistance, gastric ulcers or many issues seen in captive horses.
At its core, Thrive Feed thrives on the careful selection of high-quality, pure, and unadulterated ingredients. The process begins by choosing the finest raw materials, excluding byproducts, ground roughage, generic ingredients, or waste from human food production, such as beet pulp.
Thrive Feed is not just a horse feed; it represents a holistic approach to equine nutrition in alignment with the innate rhythms of a horse’s body. It revolutionises the training landscape, fostering a harmonious synergy between horse and rider, setting the stage for success in equine training and performance.
The key to Thrive Feed’s success is in the detail.
1 Thrive Feed supports normal enzymatic digestion in the small intestine
To understand why Thrive Feed works so effectively, one must first grasp the characteristics of the ingredients used in horse feeds. The most important fact is that wholegrain is naturally designed to be indigestible. There is a good reason for this. Nature intended grazing animals to consume grass, including the seeds. Seeds contain chemicals that inhibit digestion to ensure they pass through the animal’s digestive system and are excreted elsewhere. This process effectively serves as a natural seed sowing mechanism in nature. The system is perfect and has worked efficiently since creation.
However, we have interrupted this natural process. Seeds are harvested and fed to horses, but the seeds were never meant to be digested in the first place. If the first part of a horse’s digestive system relies on enzymes, and raw grain contains enzyme inhibitors, it becomes easy to understand what happens when horses are fed concentrated amounts of grain and grain by-products containing active inhibitors. They do precisely what they were designed to do—limit the very processes required to build and rebuild a healthy horse.
What has been done with Thrive Feed is the processing of the enzyme inhibitors to denature them while preserving the nutrients. When horses consume Thrive Feed, it encourages and supports normal enzymatic digestion in the small intestine. This is why we see horses able to consume over 50,000 calories per day without any ill effects. It is understood that this has never been safely achieved before, yet it is practical, safe, and proven with many rescue horses, most of which were in terrible states of starvation when they started being fed ad-lib.
2 Thrive Feed maintains stable blood sugar levels in the hindgut.
Horses are super sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations, far more so than humans. Maintaining stable levels is vital for their well-being, energy, and longevity. It is of paramount importance in the horse’s digestion as it is a cornerstone for stable digestion, mood, energy, and tissue regeneration.
Starch is a carbohydrate found in cereal grains such as barley, maize and oats and provides a reliable source of fast release energy. Common ingredients found in commercial horse feed, such as starch and sugars, are known as non-structural carbohydrates.
It is now well documented that a horse’s small intestine struggles to digest raw starch if fed in excess, so it passes through to the hindgut (caecum). This in turn leads to an over production of lactic acid as the microbial population struggles to deal with it. Long term this can lead to the development of gastric ulcers, insulin resistance, laminitis, and muscle myopathies (such as tying up). Ensuring the diet does not provide more than 10% combined sugar and starch is essential for managing the glycaemic response and therefore the insulin peak.
Thrive Feed contains no raw starch at all and only a negligible number of water-soluble sugars, which are found in hay. The starch in this feed is water-soluble and undergoes digestion in the small intestine without causing blood sugar spikes.
3 Thrive Feed supports the endocrine system.
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This is a pivotal hormone for the horse. It plays a crucial role in the endocrine system and has significant effect on metabolism and various other physiological processes in the body. Thrive Feed plays a significant role in maintaining optimal pH levels in the horse’s body, vital for the proper functioning of the adrenal glands whereas a high sugar and starch diet can lead to blood sugar fluctuations, which can stress the adrenal glands.
Cortisol is often referred to as the “stress hormone” because one of its primary functions is to help the body cope with stress, whether it is a physical threat or other forms of stress. Cortisol has several key effects on metabolism:
- Glucose Regulation: Cortisol increases the level of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. It does so by promoting the breakdown of glycogen (the stored form of glucose) in the liver and muscles, as well as by stimulating gluconeogenesis, which is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like amino acids and fatty acids. This ensures that the body has a readily available source of energy during stressful situations.
- Protein Metabolism: Cortisol can lead to the breakdown of proteins in muscle tissues, releasing amino acids into the bloodstream. These amino acids can then be used for gluconeogenesis or as an energy source.
- Lipid Metabolism: Cortisol also influences the metabolism of fats. It promotes the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids, making them available for energy production.
Cortisol has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. While this can be beneficial in the short term by dampening inflammation and preventing excessive immune responses during stress or injury, chronic elevation of cortisol can weaken the immune system and make the body more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Dysregulation of cortisol levels, whether it is chronic elevation (as seen in conditions like Cushing’s syndrome) or deficiency (as in Addison’s disease), can lead to various health issues, including metabolic disturbances and immune system problems.

The Ingredients
The foundation of Thrive Feed is raw grass. The addition of more concentrated nutrient sources such as soybean meal, and wheat bran achieves an unrivalled nutrient profile. These ingredients are treated to destroy the enzyme inhibitors naturally found in whole grains, preserving the nutrient value while rendering them safe for equine consumption. The final product is a concentrated feed that is not only highly nutritious but also easily digestible. Thrive Feed distinguishes itself with its commitment to utilising pure and natural components, including non-GMO grains, ultra-low sugar content, and the complete absence of raw starch.
Let us delve into the outstanding ingredients that define Thrive Feed:
Alfalfa:
Thrive Feed incorporates premium, low-temperature dehydrated Alfalfa, prized for its bio-available calcium, high-quality protein, and easily digestible fibre. These attributes contribute to the overall health and vitality of the horse.
Grain Sorghum:
Thrive Feed’s Grain Sorghum is processed to provide high-quality nutrients without the undesirable effects typically associated with raw starch. It is important to note that this is Grain Sorghum, distinct from sugar Sorghum used in syrup and ethanol production.
Timothy:
Timothy grass, celebrated as one of the finest grasses for equine nourishment, plays a vital role in Thrive Feed. Its inclusion is driven by its significant contribution to quality nutrition, promoting the overall well-being of horses.
Whole Soy Meal:
Thrive Feed incorporates whole soy meal due to its balanced amino acid profile, complementing the amino acid pattern found in Sorghum. It also provides essential fatty acids, enriching the nutritional value of the formula.
Rice Bran:
Rich in antioxidants, rice bran is known for its association with abundant energy and longevity. It aligns perfectly with Thrive Feed’s holistic approach to equine well-being and is a crucial component of the formula.
Norwegian Kelp:
This unique variety of kelp offers a blend of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients (Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn), making it a potent addition to the Thrive Feed formula. Beyond these essential nutrients, Norwegian Kelp hosts various bioactive compounds, contributing significantly to the overall nutritional excellence of Thrive Feed.
How it is made
Micro-Milling
The secret to Thrive Feed’s efficacy lies in the micro-milling process, which generates a finely ground meal with an extensive surface area. This characteristic facilitates the efficient conversion of Thrive Feed into valuable nutrients. Digestive enzymes, bile salts, bacteria, and protozoa work together to make the most of this nutrient-rich meal.
Conditioning and Wet Steam Extrusion
The micro-milled raw ingredients undergo conditioning and wet steam extrusion. This process renders the starch within the ingredients water-soluble, allowing the equine digestive system to process Thrive Feed much like natural forage. The conditioning and wet steam extrusion method significantly enhances digestibility, achieving an impressive efficiency rate exceeding 90%.
Optimising Gut pH
Thrive Feed encourages an alkaline environment within the horse’s gut, crucial for efficient utilisation of forage grass and hay, the primary energy sources for horses. This alkaline environment supports the most efficient microbial energy converters, ensuring no raw starch ferments into acid and alcohol in the caecum. This safeguard maintains the integrity of the caecal lining.
Maximizing Forage Utilisation
A horse’s gastrointestinal system operates optimally when its intestinal pH remains within the ideal range. Thrive Feed promotes this desirable pH range within the horse’s metabolism, enhancing enzyme efficiency in the small intestine and fostering the flourishing of beneficial bacteria in the alkaline caecum. This heightened efficiency in utilising grass translates to reduced long-term feed intake, ultimately saving you money, and making training easier.
To Summarise – What do you really want?
At the end of the day, it is your horse’s health that is on the line. The feed decisions you make will affect your horse’s quality of life and how long they remain useful and active. Make your horse healthy from the inside out. In the years to come you will reap the benefits of feeding nutrition that makes sense to a horse’s digestive system.
Generally, companies make feed that appeals to people, they are the ones that buy the feed, not the horses. Horses have no say in what they eat, if they did, they would vote Thrive Feed as their feed of choice. Thrive Feed aids in satisfying your horses nutritional needs as the number one priority.

FAQs from A to Z
A Is Thrive Feed Expensive?
Thrive Feed is an investment in your horse’s health and longevity. Many people consider Thrive Feed an absolute bargain, while others may find it a bit pricey. The actual cost of horse feed cannot be measured solely by the price of a bag but rather by its impact on your horse’s health over an extended period. Some horse owners find that they do not need to feed Thrive Feed all year round because their horse’s gut is in excellent condition, allowing them to thrive on grass for a significant part of the year. This makes Thrive Feed great value.
Comparing Thrive Feed to regular horse feed bag by bag is challenging. You simply cannot achieve the same results with normal horse feed that you can with Thrive Feed. When deciding which feed to purchase, the question you should be asking yourself is, “Is my purchase an investment that pays dividends or an expense with future consequences?”
B What Size Bag Does Thrive Feed Come In?
Thrive Feed is available in 15kg bags. It is dehydrated, with 93% digestibility, ensuring that the contents are equal to or exceed the usable nutritional value of 18.75kg feed bag. The lighter bags mean it’s much easier to handle.
C How Do I Change Over to Thrive Feed?
The way you transition your horse to this ultimate diet is as unique as the results you will achieve. DO NOT MIX THRIVE FEED WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OR BRAND OF HORSE FEED. The only acceptable additions are forage grasses and water. The reason is the rate of digestion. Mixing other feeds with Thrive Feed may induce digestive upset, which can be easily avoided. Please be aware that many vets are still unaware of the differences between Thrive Feed and regular horse feeds. They may advise you to transition slowly.
To switch over, stop feeding your horse all rations except hay/grass pasture and water for 24 hours, then feed the appropriate quantity as per the initial feeding recommendations printed on the lower left back of the bag.
D Do All Horses Love Thrive Feed Right Away?
No, they do not. Two factors come into play. The first is mouthfeel. Thrive Feed is light and crunchy, and some horses take longer than others to adapt to the new texture in their mouth and how they move it back to their premolars and molars. Thrive Feed dissolves readily in a horse’s mouth, making it effortless to chew. The next issue is flavour. Thrive Feed is not a flavoured or sweetened ration; it relies on naturally delicious flavours to entice horses. If a horse has been in a barn where feeds containing oils, molasses, or has been fed oil-rich, senior feeds, sweet feeds, or feeds with added flavours or odours, they may initially resist Thrive Feed. Your horse may prefer candy-like feeds over vegetables!
E How Much Do I Feed?
You can start with 2kg per day for a 500kg horse. That is approximately a bag every 7.5 days. Think of Thrive Feed as the accelerator for your vehicle. If you want more performance, you add more feed, up to ad-lib. No additional supplementation is suggested. Please note that hot breeds like Thoroughbreds may use and burn more for the same size.
F How Often Do I Need to Feed?
You can divide the daily ration into multiple feedings if you prefer. If you need to leave your horse unattended for longer than a day, you can place the feed in a dry manger, out of the weather, allowing your horse to feed itself during your absence. Ensure a constant supply of clean water is always available for your horse to drink. It is easy to provide your horse with the best care.
G How Long Before I See Changes in My Horse?
Dramatic changes in horses can be observed in a noticeably brief time. Many owners report significant improvements in their horse’s attitude within a week, and all owners notice changes within twenty-one days when they follow the recommended protocol for their horse.
H Can I Wet Thrive Feed with Water to Make a Mash?
Thrive Feed is designed to be fed dry and should not be wetted down. When you wet the nuggets, you stop the saturation by saliva and its associated enzymes and alkalizing ability, compromising the initial stage of digestion. If you provide the feed in a large, flat-bottomed tub and spread it thinly, your horse will graze similarly to how they graze on short grass, and saliva will soften the feed within seconds. This way, even horses without teeth can still access the required nutrients.
I I Have an Old Horse with Poor Teeth.
Aged horses with worn-down teeth do remarkably well on Thrive Feed, as do all horses. Thrive Feed quickly softens when it contacts saliva, turning into an easy-to-swallow meal. It does not take long for senior horses to regain their vitality. Many senior rescue horses thrive daily on this excellent diet. If you wet Thrive Feed into a sloppy paste, it will prevent the crucial action of the primary enzyme in saliva, alpha amylase, which is the first step in efficient digestion.
J Can Foals Eat Thrive Feed?
Foals typically begin nibbling at their mother’s food at about a week to ten days old. Thrive Feed is so appropriate that foals will start eating it alongside their mother’s food, consuming around a 0.5kg a day within a month or so. No negative effects have been observed with this practice; instead, foals grow up healthily.
K Is Thrive Feed FEI Compliant?
Yes, Thrive Feed is formulated and produced using all approved ingredients. No prohibited substances are ever intentionally used in the manufacture of this product.
L How Long Will Thrive Feed Last in the Bag?
Because Thrive Feed has been processed to eliminate mould and fungal spores, and then dehydrated, it will last at least four years when stored in a dry place. The processing temperature is not high or long enough to deteriorate the valuable nutrients in the feed, but it enhances its digestibility.
M Is Thrive Feed High in Protein?
There are significant misunderstandings regarding protein in horse feed. The high-quality proteins in Thrive Feed are easily utilized. What is not used for muscle building or rebuilding is converted into energy, like carbohydrates. Protein is essential for the intestinal microorganisms that break down fibre into simple sugars for energy. That is what they thrive on. Both protein and carbohydrate have the same energy value. Therefore, your horse has all the protein necessary for building and rebuilding, and any excess becomes fuel for useful work. If you have any doubts, check the results that Thrive Feed produces.
N What About Cushing’s and IR Horses?
Thrive Feed has proven immensely helpful in supporting metabolically challenged horses. Horses often diagnosed with Cushing’s disease or insulin resistance (IR) may, in fact, be experiencing stress responses resulting in Pseudo Cushing’s or pseudo-IR. These conditions are a result of stressors placed on the horse. Thrive Feed has shown to be a valuable tool in supporting recovery from these issues once the stressors are identified and managed or removed.
O Are Supplements Necessary?
Thrive Feed is a complete ration and requires no supplementation. Adding other products to Thrive Feed upsets the nutrient balance that has been meticulously achieved. A normal equine digestive system can manufacture all the necessary nutrients when provided with the correct diet. Both horses and humans have tissue reserves to compensate for nutritional variations throughout the year.
P Are There Any Drugs in Thrive Feed to Calm Horses Down?
Absolutely not. The calming effect you may notice is how a horse is naturally meant to be, reflecting their baseline temperament. Thrive Feed supports stable blood sugar levels, and with that stability comes an optimal temperament. Do not be misled by the calmness exhibited by Thrive Feed-fed horses; they still possess substantial performance capabilities, delivered in a more focused and composed manner.
Q Are There Probiotics in Thrive Feed?
No, Thrive Feed does not contain probiotics. Probiotic literally means “for life.” In digestive terms, probiotics are used to replace desirable bacteria that may have been killed due to digestive anomalies or events, such as the consumption of antibiotics as a treatment or precaution after an injury or illness. When horses ingest appropriate nutrients that create the correct pH, gut microbes multiply and flourish as nature intended.
R Do I Need to Feed Alfalfa with Thrive Feed?
Although Thrive Feed contains alfalfa in its formula, it has been optimized through skilful processing. It is not recommended to feed raw, unprocessed alfalfa (Lucerne). Alfalfa is a legume with a fermentation profile quite different from grasses. Remember that horses are designed to be grass eaters, and given the right digestive bacteria, they efficiently extract energy from common grasses. After a while, you may notice your horse eating less hay but being in better physical condition. Improved digestive efficiency translates into cost savings.
S What Age or Type of Horses Are Suitable for Thrive Feed?
Thrive Feed is designed for all life stages and breeds. The ability to provide it ad lib allows for optimal growth without compromising the digestive system with oils, fats, or raw starch. Senior horses also thrive on the highly digestible nuggets, which are gentle on the entire digestive system. When you think about it, horses naturally consume grass, forage grasses, bark, leaves, and weeds throughout their lives. It is only humans who have introduced a multitude of different feeds for each type of horse, driven by perceived needs to satisfy owners who want the best for their horses.
T Will My Horse Lose Weight on Thrive Feed?
If your horse is obese, they may gradually shed excess fat. Owners report that Thrive Feed does not fatten their horses but rather supports the growth of lean, strong muscle mass.
U What If My Horse Gets into a Whole Bag of Thrive Feed?
Because you can provide Thrive Feed ad lib, your horse will simply enjoy itself without any concerns. This peace of mind is invaluable, as issues can arise when horses consume excessive amounts of many bagged feeds and all grain types.
V Will Thrive Feed Slow Down Performance Horses?
Thrive Feed has the opposite effect. Just because your horse may become easier to handle and calmer does not mean they will be slower. Being nervous and anxious consumes energy, and energy comes from what horses eat. The efficient utilization of available energy to support speed and endurance instead of nervousness and a bad attitude is a wonderful attribute supported by Thrive Feed.
W Can I Add Oils to Thrive Feed for More Energy?
A horse’s digestive system was never designed to process fat and oil; they are herbivores, natural grass eaters. Humans are better equipped than horses to metabolize fat, and we are advised to consume a low-fat diet for health. Yet, we willingly feed our horses fat-laden pellets and are told that it is perfectly fine. This does not make sense. Thrive Feed is low in fat because that aligns with a horse’s natural diet.
X Will My Horse Be More Heat Tolerant?
There are three types of heat that affect horses negatively: environmental heat, muscular heating due to physical work, and heat generated during digestion. Thrive Feed significantly reduces the horse’s heat load because it is easily digestible, particularly during digestion. This can have a positive impact on performance, especially in hot weather. Additionally, because Thrive Feed may have a calming effect on your horse, less energy is wasted on nervousness, and the energy value of the feed is preserved for useful work rather than dissipating as undesirable attitudes and behaviours that hinder easy handling and interaction.
Y I’m Concerned About the Small Pellet Size.
Thrive Feed’s small nugget size is designed for a reason. It ensures ease of chewing and efficient digestion, even for horses with dental issues. Because it is so easily chewed, even horses with very few teeth can readily consume Thrive Feed. The small size allows the feed to be quickly softened by saliva, ensuring rapid and effective digestion. Rest assured that the size of the pellets will not pose any problems for your horse.
Z Is Thrive Feed Suitable for All Horse?
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for broodmares. It provides the essential nutrients necessary to support pregnancy and lactation. Many owners have successfully used Thrive Feed for their broodmares and have reported healthy foals with excellent growth and development.
Yes, Thrive Feed can be fed to miniature horses. You can adjust the feeding amount based on their size and individual needs, but it provides the same benefits to miniatures as it does to larger horses.
Yes, Thrive Feed can be fed to donkeys and mules. It provides a highly digestible and nutritious source of food for these animals, just as it does for horses.
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for ponies. You can adjust the feeding amount based on their size and individual needs, but it provides the same benefits to ponies as it does to larger horses.
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for draft horses. You can adjust the feeding amount based on their size and individual needs, but it provides the same benefits to draft horses as it does to other breeds.
Yes, Thrive Feed can be fed to racing horses. Many owners and trainers have reported improved performance, focus, and overall health when using Thrive Feed for their racing horses.
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for endurance horses. It provides a balanced and easily digestible source of nutrition that can support the energy and endurance needs of these horses during long-distance rides.
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for show horses. It can help show horses maintain a healthy weight, coat condition, and overall well-being, which are essential for success in the show ring.
Yes, Thrive Feed is suitable for pleasure horses. Whether your pleasure horse is used for trail riding, leisurely riding, or any other recreational activity, Thrive Feed can provide the necessary nutrition to support their health and well-being.
If your horse has specific allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients, it is essential to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new feed, including Thrive Feed, to their diet.
If your horse has unique dietary needs due to health conditions or other factors, it is essential to work closely with your veterinarian to create a feeding plan tailored to their individual requirements.
If your horse is obese, please do not feed this product or any other product. Exercise, low quality forage and a low stress life, will place your horse on the road to recovery. Once your horse is at an ideal weight you can start on a new and correct feeding protocol that may or may not include a complimentary feed. Forage is always the default diet for horses, and exercise is mandatory for their health.
If your horse has specific health concerns or dietary requirements that necessitate supplementation, it is crucial to consult with your veterinarian to ensure they receive the appropriate nutrients in the correct amounts.
