Unlock their full potential the molasses-free way.
Equipride® and EquiLix® provide essential nutrition without molasses, and feature ProBiotein®—a blend of prebiotics and digestive enzymes.
Experience enhanced health and performance for your horse with our scientifically formulated products.
No molasses.
No added starch or sugar.
Our molasses-free formulas deliver balanced vitamins, minerals, and ProBiotein® without the sugar rush. EquiLix® is the only feed tub in America made without molasses—or added starch and sugar—using a low-temperature fermentation process. It includes oats, wheat, flax, and barley, never exceeding 135 degrees during processing. This ensures high enzymatic activity, making the nutrients more effective and efficient for your horse.
Better for guts: supports a healthier hindgut and calmer behavior.
Safer for easy-keepers: low-NSC; friendlier for metabolic/laminitis-prone horses.
Cleaner & consistent: tubs stay firm in heat—no sticky mess, no fly magnet.
Real results: shinier coats, stronger hooves, and more from every bite of forage.

FAQs
-
EquiPride is a forage‑based, prebiotic supplement that supports the digestive system so horses get more nutrition from hay and pasture. It includes chelated vitamins and minerals, omega‑3s from flax, and a blend of prebiotic fibers—without molasses or added sugars. In short: it feeds the good gut microbes, stabilizes digestion, and improves nutrient absorption so your horse makes the most of forage.
-
Start with a quick checklist to match the product to your horse’s lifestyle and goals:
Is your horse mostly stalled, mostly on pasture, or a mix?
What forage are they eating (type and quality)?
Are you feeding grain or other supplements now?
What problem are you trying to solve (time constraints, stress, weight, picky eater, etc.)?
Your answers guide whether to use EquiPride (loose top‑dress) or EquiLix (self‑regulated lick tub). Pasture‑kept horses often do great with a tub in the field, while stalled horses or those already getting a daily ration may be an easy fit for the loose meal.
-
EquiLix provides 24/7 access to the same core support in a convenient, self‑regulating lick tub. This helps keep the digestive system humming—especially for horses in stalls, in training, or on the road—so they get steady prebiotic support between scheduled feeds. It’s a nutritional safety net you can hang in a stall or set in a paddock.
-
Yes—by improving digestion, not by adding empty calories. EquiPride helps unlock more energy and nutrients from the forage and feed you already provide. If weight still doesn’t improve, it’s usually a forage‑quality issue or too much starch and not enough fiber. Focus on better forage and let EquiPride optimize how your horse uses it.
-
Absolutely. EquiPride is partially pre‑digested and gentle on the gut, making it easier for seniors or horses with worn teeth to absorb nutrients. Many older horses maintain condition better once their hindgut is supported. You can also mix EquiPride into soaked forage mashes for easy intake.
-
For the first 30 days, allow free‑choice access (especially if using tubs). Horses often eat more initially to correct deficiencies, then naturally settle into a steady intake. After the load‑up period, adjust as needed:
If they eat too much: Reduce molasses‑heavy feeds or switch to a harder EquiLix tub to slow licking.
If they eat too little: Check for sweet feeds or highly fortified pellets that blunt appetite for the tub; reduce competitors and reassess.
Typical steady intake (varies by horse): ~1 oz per day for every 100 lbs of bodyweight as a top‑dress or roughly 1 lb/day free‑choice from a tub for a 1,000 lb horse. Monitor body condition, coat, hooves, and energy to dial it in.
-
Two common causes: (1) competing sweet/molasess feeds or treats that make the unsweetened tub seem bland, and (2) overlap with other fortified supplements that reduce desire to lick. Remove or reduce the ‘candy’ feed for a few days and pause redundant supplements. Most horses begin licking once the competition is gone.
-
Yes—many performance horses thrive on quality forage plus EquiPride with no grain. The key is providing enough high‑quality hay or cubes to meet energy needs while EquiPride maximizes forage utilization and fills nutritional gaps. Dropping starch can also help focus and digestive comfort.
-
Owners commonly report increased water intake—often significantly more—after starting EquiPride. A happier gut encourages better drinking, which supports circulation, oxygen delivery, performance, and recovery. Keep fresh water available at all times.
-
Yes. EquiPride provides chelated vitamins and organic trace minerals, omega‑3s from flax, and multiple prebiotic fiber sources. It’s designed to simplify your program: support gut health, cover micronutrient needs, and help your horse thrive on a forage‑first diet.
