Products
No. Vermont Blend is formulated and manufactured in Vermont. We are proud to be Vermonters and named our product as such. Originally Green Mountain Blend was a name we considered, but anyone who lives here knows that name was already taken by Green Mountain Coffee. We are thankful for them every morning!!
Vermont Blend's formula is based on the last 10 years forage analysis for all East Coast states; from Maine to Florida. Every three years we check the averages to ensure that Vermont Blend still balances the most recent hay crops. The formula will always be based off the previous 10 years.
Despite being formulated for the East Coast, Vermont Blend does a great job at balancing most forage in the United States. If you have a hay analysis and would like to know how Vermont Blend works with your specific forage, please feel free to email it to us! We will let you know if Vermont Blend will balance your forage, if there is anything else that needs to be added or if another product would match your hay better.
Vermont Blend can be fed with any bowl feed as long as you are not feeding more than the manufactures recommended dose. This includes beet pulp, forage pellets or cubes, grains, concentrates and even ration balancers.
If you live in a high selenium area and are feeding a ration balancer along with Vermont Blend, please contact us. We are happy to crunch some numbers to ensure your horse is not being over supplemented with selenium.

Omega-E should be stored at room temperature or refrigerated. Avoid heat and humidity. Silca gel packs can also be used to maintain freshness.
Each 4cc pump will provide 2,000iu. For example, if you want to provide your horse with 4,000iu/day, you would feed 2 pumps per day.
Vermont Blend & Vermont Blend PRO: 24 months. However, we recommend using your product within 12 months.
Omega-E: 12 months.
Emcelle: Two years
We get new loads of product in weekly to ensure your supplement is always fresh.
Most horses will readily eat all of Custom Equine supplements. That being said, there will always be a few horses who refuse to eat their veggies! We are happy to work with you and your horse to make sure they enjoy their meals 100%. We offer trial sizes of Vermont Blend, Vermont Blend PRO and Omega-E. We also have a Happy Horse Guarantee if you need to return the supplement.
Here are a few video's of some happy horses enjoying Vermont Blend:
Here are some suggestions on introducing a new supplement:
Introducing a new supplement
No. None of our products come in pelleted form.
Our powdered supplements are free of fillers, inactive ingredients,
preservatives etc. The only thing in the bag is active ingredients. In order to form a pellet, we would need to add inactive ingredients and/or a pellet binder. As it is now, if we put our supplements through a pellet mill, they would come out like little rocks. We like to supply
everything your horses actually need, nothing they don't.
Being part of the food supply system means meeting the highest-quality control standards is not just important, it is essential. Our mill works tirelessly to ensure internal, third party, federal and state standards and regulations are met. Animal feeds, and the nutrients within those feeds, play a very significant role in the overall health and well-being of the animals. For that reason, we acquire products from a supplier that is committed to delivering a product that meets a higher standard. One that strives to go above and beyond to deliver a consistent product to you every time. Our mill is a Certified Safe Feed Facility (SFSF) and FSC34/SQF Level 2 Quality Certified. Custom Equine Nutrition also conducts annual 3rd party testing to ensure what is on the guaranteed analysis is exactly what your horse is receiving!
