After breeding, raising, training, and shoeing horses most of my life, I have come to the conclusion that the horse is like the American people, "well fed, but drastically undernourished."
For the past twenty-five years I have researched and experimented with feeds and feeding. Many of my observations and conclusions have been confirmed in the many articles written recently about horse nutrition in several leading magazines.

About eight years ago I developed a mixed grain called "AHSAN" that has proven itself by many horsemen, trainers, and breeders to be the best balanced and nutritious grain in the area. The object in mixing feeds is to get all the required ingredients in the proper amounts to make a healthy animal and sustain him. The important factor is a grain mix that is balanced and will give the animal the most nutrition and maintain him without adding expensive supplements.
The end result is to produce a good basic grain at a reasonable cost. It is like building a house, start with a good foundation.
