Sweet 11/4 All-Grain is a textured sweet feed formulated for maintenance horses or those in light exercise. With 11% protein and 4% fat, it provides basic nutrition for horses that are not in heavy work, training, or competition, making it ideal for pleasure riding, trail horses, or companion horses.

“All-grain” indicates that Sweet 11/4 is made entirely from grain sources without added protein supplements or by-products. This simple formulation uses whole and processed grains with molasses coating, providing a traditional, natural approach to horse feeding that many owners prefer for their light-work or maintenance horses.

Sweet 11/4 contains 11% crude protein and 4% crude fat with only 6% maximum crude fiber. These moderate levels provide sufficient energy and nutrition for horses in maintenance or light exercise without the higher calorie density that could cause weight gain or excitability in less active horses.

Yes, Sweet 11/4 includes essential nutrients: 3000 IU/lb Vitamin A for vision and immune health, 25 IU/lb Vitamin E for muscle function, balanced calcium (0.70-0.80%) and phosphorus (0.40%), plus trace minerals including 120 ppm zinc, 30 ppm copper, and 0.35 ppm selenium for overall health and hoof quality.

Sweet 11/4 can work for easy keepers when fed in controlled portions, as the moderate 11% protein and 4% fat won’t provide excessive calories. However, horses that gain weight easily should be fed smaller amounts with quality hay to meet nutritional needs without promoting unwanted weight gain or metabolic issues.
