TESTIMONIAL
"I have fed Kent equine products for over forty years. In that time, I have NEVER been disappointed in the quality of the feed or how my horses have performed while on the Kent Equine Program. The consistency of the product means that my horses receive the ingredients named on the bag label in a form that encourages them to consume the correct amount necessary for each horse to do their job while maintaining their weight, their condition and a healthy hair coat. Whether my horse is a foal, yearling , mature horse, or a senior animal, there is a Kent product that is correct for their particular stage of life."

Matt & Christy Thuer
BIO

TESTIMONIAL
We at Walnut Ridge Stables have been feeding Kent Feeds for many years, and still find that Kent Feeds' Dynasty Show provides our Belgian Draft Horses with great stamina, muscle strength, hair coats, and solid hoof wall that we need in the show arena. We include quality grass / alfalfa mix hay, along with free choice water for a sound diet.
Our horses easily maintain a high level of fitness throughout the show season. The Dynasty Show ration provides our Belgians with a high level of energy and alertness, with out being hyped up, as with other feeds. With Kent's added Diamond yeast, we do not experience the digestive problems that are associated with a full show schedule and the thousands of miles traveled each season. The team seems to recover quickly after a full day of showing.
The pellet format of Dynasty Show results in easy breakdown and better absorption. We have never had a problem with the horses eating Dynasty.

Hannah Montey
BIO
My name is Hannah Montey, and I am a horse addict! I've been in love with horses as long as I can remember, and certainly count on them daily to keep me busy, very humble, and almost always smiling.
I started out riding beautiful paints for pleasure, and now generally find myself with my eyes watering as I fly by on my race bred quarter horses. My goals are to keep my horses healthy, happy, and sound. I want them to love their job, and look forward to getting the opportunity to compete as a team. I currently have 12 horses and continue to add to the herd with each breeding season. I sell my horses both as barrel prospects, and finished barrel horses. Before they're taken to the pattern, I see to it that all my horses are well broke and responsive to pressure of any kind. While it is a lot of hard work, it is very rewarding to share the pleasure of a great horse with someone who really appreciates and benefits from owning a great competitive partner. I plan to continue my breeding and racing programs as long as possible.
TESTIMONIAL
"I've been feeding Dynasty Pro for over 6 years. My horses absolutely LOVE it, and depend on it daily to perform to the best of their abilities! When I'm feeding Dynasty Pro, I know that my horses are getting the vitamins and nutrients necessary to keep energy levels high without getting a HOT horse. They have an impeccable high fat, low starch formula. I can rest assured that my horses daily dietary needs are always met while on the Kent Feeds program. Even when the unexpected happens, Kent Feeds has you covered. I've had circumstances ranging from shattered legs, to unexpected pregnancies and foaling. My horses have always wanted to eat their pelleted grain, and are therefore capable to handle what life has to throw our way. Whether I'm competing on them or they're raising me a world beater baby, ALL my horses are on the Dynasty Pro feed program. I know they're nutritional needs are being met; I can see the proof in every one of them."

TESTIMONIAL
"I own and work with horses in a wide range of ages and breeds. The purpose and goals the owners have for their horses is also quite diverse. Such diversity in ages and expectations of performance demands a variety of feed products. Kent Feeds has an Equine feeding program designed to take into account the individual horse’s needs based on their age, use and breed. I can rely on Kent Feeds to provide a product that will meet the needs of each of my horses and those of my clients. I have fed Kent Feeds exclusively for several years and could not be happier with their products."
