How our horse feed program works and why it delivers results

Mule City Specialty Feeds builds your feeding plan around forage first nutrition, then matches the right concentrates and supplements to your horse’s workload, body condition, and metabolism. We focus on consistent protein and controlled starch and sugar to support gut health, calm energy, and long term soundness.

A common misconception is that more grain automatically means more usable energy. In reality, smart calories from the right fiber, fat, and balanced vitamins and minerals create steady performance without hot behavior. With Mule City, you get clarity on exactly what to feed, how much by weight, and how to adjust through seasons so you see visible improvements in weeks.

review1 Horse Feed Near Benson NC

5 star rate Horse Feed Near Benson NC

Quality feed at decent prices. Friendly, helpful staff. Worth the drive. My chickens LOVE their feed and while they will barely touch feed bought from the " farm chain", they eat this feed with gusto and lay more eggs on it. One looks like yellow/ gray extruded chunks, the other is loaded with chunked feed, corn and black oil sunflowers.... something they can get excited about.... 😆

The only place I will get my feed from. Their feed is fresh, in my opinion healthier for my animals. I call my order in, pay over the phone and when I get there they have it ready for me and help me/ or load it up in my vehicle.

I recommend to everyone I speak to that has animals this is the best place to buy feed.
