cool calories 100

[t. nason]

Anyone used that has a really hot horse? :)

I have a TB, who tends to be on the hotter side of life and I can't say that adding Cool Calories 100 to his diet changed any energy levels at all. It added a bit of weight to him but didn't do anything to him mentally.

It's just dry vegetable oil/fat. Fat doesn't make a horse hot and if you need to put weight on them that is something that will help.

Helped with condition and did not make the horses hot (in my experience with using on a few horses).

I have a TB and it hasn't made her hotter at all.

I used it hoping to make my borderline epsm mare hotter and it didn't work. She didn't find it very palatable, fyi, and I had to do quite a bit of mixing to get her to eat it. Switched to regular oil and got the energy I needed.

Use on my epsm horse, he gets 7ounces 1x a day. No nuttiness here. I switched because it is easier to use instead of oil. Energy is fine. This is a large beast, fortuneately he keeps the high energy out in the field instead of under saddle. A 20 pd bucket goes a long way.

I gave it to my hard keeper and it really helped her to gain weight and didn't make her hot- and added a nice shine to her coat! I gave her 4 scoops a day for about 5 months, and now have her weaned down to 1 scoop a day.

My TB gets 4 oz AM and PM. It doesn't make him hot (he doesn't really get "hot" but tends to worry and get anxious). I can tell you after the last few weeks that it doesn't freeze in the winter like oil will :). It also smells pretty good!

My hot horse refused to eat it.

Sigh.

She did eat cocosoya. It did not make her hotter.

Paco really didn't like it. I think it was the texture of it. He'll eat just about anything but he picked when we added it. Sticking it in his soaked beep was ok though...but then Paco will eat ANYTHING in his beep. :lol::lol:

It is SUPER convenient though and I love having it on hand. Sometimes a jug of oil is a pain.

For the record, canola oil has a very low freezing point. So far in our barn it's stayed 100% liquid, without even chunking up, down to about 10 degrees. Vegetable oil does freeze around the 15-20 degree mark but mine is on a pump system, and my BO reported that even as the veg oil "sludged up" it has still consistently dispensed through the pump without any problems, even in the 10 degree weather. And as long as it's hassle-free for the BO and the horse is still eating it, I don't care if it "freezes". It's still a darn sight cheaper than Cool Calories 100. :)

I just started my coming 3yo on CC yesterday, to help her keep weight through the growth spurt that I can see coming. Mine eats completely different feed than all the other horses in the barn, so I prepare a weeks worth of baggies at a time to make it easier for the barn workers. Oil is way too messy and ick for that kind of situation, so the CC made sense. We'll see how it works. She didn't seem to have a problem eating it.

I use CC as well with my 3 OTTB's. Haven't seen any difference in behaviour. Like it, easy to use, but I do have to hide it in the Beet Pulp for the one fussy eater.

Been using it for the one for about 6 weeks now to help her gain weight, as she too is going through a growth spurt and was getting a little ribby. She is already filling back out.
