Legends^® Technology:

• Sel-Plex^®, Organic Selenium. For a safer, more efficient source of selenium, Legends premium horse feeds now contain Sel-Plex^®, the only organic selenium that's FDA reviewed. Selenium supports the body's ability to repair and strengthen itself. Performance horses experience stress on tissues and active muscles. Broodmares can suffer infections that hinder reproduction, and gestating mares transfer a tremendous quantity of trace minerals to their growing foals. Mature horses, though assumed to have lower selenium needs, may have difficulty extracting essential minerals from feed as they age. Sel-Plex improves a horse's immune function because its organic form is metabolized and retained at a higher level and more safely by the body.
   
• Higher Fat. With 100% more fat than most horse feeds, Legends^® feeds deliver more calories per pound of feed. You'll see better weight gain, a shinier hair coat and improved muscle performance. You will also use less feed, which means less stress on the digestive tract and a lower risk of digestive upset (colic).
   
• Yeast Culture. The more digestible a feed is, the easier it is on your horse's intestinal system. Yeast culture increases fiber digestion, which improves the utilization of protein and phosphorus, and can improve intestinal health and make your horse less prone to colic.
   
• Organic Minerals. Most horse feeds contain only inorganic mineral salts in the form of sulfates or oxides. Research studies have proven that organic minerals are more readily absorbed and metabolized, as much as 50% more than inorganic forms. This is crucial for proper development and maintenance of bone, muscle, hair, hoof and skin condition, and the immune system.
   
• Vitamin E and Selenium. All Legends^® feeds contain high guaranteed levels of vitamin E and selenium. These nutrients function as antioxidants in every cell of the horse's body. They are critical to insure optimum function of the reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous and immune systems.
   
• Lysine. This amino acid is the most critical for growth, muscle and tissue development. Legends horse feeds have optimal guaranteed levels of this amino acid to ensure maximum growth and development.
  Fixed Formulas. The type and amount of ingredients in Legends horse feed formulas do not change, and remain the same, bag after bag. A fixed formula reduces the chance of a digestive upset, as well as a horse going 'off feed' due to changing feed ingredients or their amounts.
   
• Biotin. Research studies have shown that biotin can improve hoof quality. All Legends^® feeds are formulated with high levels of B-complex vitamins, including guaranteed levels of biotin, so that most horses will not need additional biotin supplementation.

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.
