About Green Horse
Green Horse was developed by 3-Star Parelli Instructor and Nutrition Expert, Mollie Vacco.
Getting Back to Nature
Mollie saw a need for horses to get back to natural nutrition, with real, whole food that naturally contains the nutrients they crave. Horses are incredibly intuitive, and will naturally seek out the foods their bodies need. Green Horse is a foundational feed. It provides a base of nutrition, and when combined with access to forage, plenty of free movement, and free choice minerals, it helps horses to find their natural bloom.
Green Horse is appropriate for horses of all ages and walks of life. Any horse, from the family pony to the high-performance athlete can benefit from a strong foundation of real, natural nutrition. From there, it’s easy to customize a feeding program based on the individual needs of horses.

Feeding Instructions
Many horses are successfully transitioned from their current grain onto Green Horse without a transition period. You may choose to gradually change your horse’s diet if you prefer. Some horses may bulk at the previously offered grain and prefer Green Horse immediately.
Quantity: Start out feeding 1/2 the amount of your previous feed. Give that about two weeks and observe your horses condition. You may want to adjust up or down from there.
If you’re looking for a starting point, start with 1.5quarts of dry Green Horse per day and dampen thoroughly before feeding. You can feed once per day or split that quantity over two feedings depending on your feeding system.
Always offer ample fresh water and access to real mineral sources like Kelp and Sea Salt.
