FYI For all of the ex-factor buyers

We're saying goodbye to Intensify® Ex-Factor Low Starch 👋🏻

The science of equine nutrition is constantly evolving, and so are we. Intensify® Ex-Factor is retiring from the Bluebonnet® brand, and Intensify® Low Starch Ultra is stepping in as the next generation of low-starch feeding.

Intensify® Low Starch Ultra carries forward the same commitment to low-starch nutrition, so your horse will continue getting the exceptional nutrition they deserve, with a few advancements built-in.

Intensify® Ex-Factor will remain available for a few weeks, though your dealer’s last order may vary. If you’d like a longer transition window, talk to your dealer or place an order through Chewy while stock remains.

We recommend the 25% rule for transitioning feeds. Replace about ¼ of Ex-Factor with Low Starch Ultra every 2-3 days until the transition is complete. If you have more questions about transitioning, reach out to your Bluebonnet nutrition consultant: https://bit.ly/bluebonnet-consult

Thank you trusting us with your horses’ nutrition,
- The Bluebonnet Team

Weaning can challenge the gut.

Changes in feed, environment, and social structure may affect appetite, manure consistency, and microbial balance.

Our two-week weaning protocol:

✅ Begin Gastro pHix® and Gut Reset™ one week before weaning
✅ Continue both for one week after

Gastro pHix® supports normal stomach pH, while Gut Reset™ helps maintain a balanced intestinal microbiome.

Support their gut before the big day. 💙

Go check your horse's water bucket. No really, go check it. 🥵

I just wrapped a new episode of Be Your Best Horsemanship with Phil Haugen Horsemanship , and we got DEEP into hydration, but not just the "make sure they're drinking" kind. We touched on cellular hydration, electrolyte balance, and why a horse can drink a whole trough and still not actually be hydrated 🤯.

If you've got a horse hauling to a show, training, or just standing out in this heat (which is... all of us right now), this one's worth your drive time this weekend.

Some of what we cover:
💧 Why water temp actually matters more than you'd think
💧 The difference between salt making them drink vs. true cellular hydration
💧 How to prep a horse for success BEFORE the trailer ride

Link in comments. Go be your best out there, and stay cool!

Not to be dramatic, but…minerals matter. A lot. 😅 When minerals are out of balance, your horse’s whole body can feel it.

That’s where Bluebonnet® Pro Balance™ comes in 👇

✅ Fills the gaps in forage-only diets
✅ Delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids & antioxidants
✅ Supports gut health, hoof quality & coat condition
✅ ZERO added sugar, minimal calories

As Melanie put it:

“I am still so astonished that simply balancing minerals has had such a profound effect on our herd’s overall health and well being!”

Balanced minerals. Big difference. 🐴

As hay prices increase- and yes even coastal Bermuda because fertilizer is expensive but necessary for nutrients !
But is it to blame for colic?

Bermudagrass gets blamed for a lot. But does it deserve the reputation? 🌾🐴

If you've ever been told bermudagrass causes colic, you're not alone. It's one of the most common misconceptions in equine nutrition.

Listen to Feed Room Chemist as Dr. Jyme separates fact from fiction, breaks down the research, and explains the management factors that can influence colic risk.
