Top 11 Horse Feed and Supplements in Canada for 2025: Concentrates, Balancers, Forage, and Targeted Nutrition

Mad Barn's W-3 Oil Stabilized Rice Bran is presented as a best-in-class rice single-grain concentrate for horses because its stabilization process preserves omega-3-rich oils and key micronutrients, delivering consistent energy and coat-condition benefits for performance and metabolic-sensitive equines. Compared with the other rice-bran options on this list, it prioritizes lab-tested stability and tailored formulation—commanding a premium price but offering technical advantages that can reduce waste and improve measurable nutritional outcomes for targeted feeding programs.

Mad Barn Omneity Premix is a science-driven ration balancer that emphasizes precision nutrition with chelated trace minerals and targeted vitamin levels, making it a standout for owners who want data-backed optimization. It holds its position by pairing lab-formulated blends with customizable feeding plans, offering technical advantages over broad-market mixes like Purina Optimal while typically commanding a premium price compared with regional value brands such as Masterfeeds.

Ontario Dehy Timothy Balance Cubes are marketed as a premium, nutrient-balanced timothy cube with consistent density and predictable nutrient profiles, making them excellent for precise rationing and performance or metabolic management. Compared with the other forage alternatives in this list, Ontario Dehy emphasizes laboratory-tested consistency and higher per-unit nutrient control, which can justify a higher upfront cost for operations that require tight dietary management.

Mad Barn Omneity ranks as the modern, science-forward option thanks to its all‑in‑one approach that combines fat-dense energy with digestive and micronutrient support tailored through data-driven formulations. It often commands a higher retail price because of its premium ingredients and direct-to-consumer model, but the technical advantages—personalized feeding guidance and integrated probiotic/prebiotic components—make it a strong choice for riders prioritizing metabolic tuning over simple cost-per-calorie comparisons with Gro 'N Win or Enrich Plus.

Mad Barn Omneity Premix is a precision mineral and vitamin premix intended to be blended into rations to create customized, life-stage appropriate diets using existing forage and concentrates. Its technical strength is laboratory-driven formulation and flexibility—allowing owners and nutritionists to tailor micronutrients more precisely than off-the-shelf complete feeds—though that precision can come with higher upfront cost and requires proper mixing and ration planning. For operations seeking finely tuned nutrition across foals, mares and seniors, Omneity delivers customizable control that complements or corrects the nutrient profiles of products like Purina, Tribute or Brooks.

Martin's Apple Wafers are thin, low-calorie apple-flavored wafers designed for high-repetition training — they break easily for precise portion control and deliver just enough aroma to reward without overfeeding. They hold the best-in-class position for everyday training because their cost-per-use is very low compared with denser treats like Stud Muffins or Mrs. Pastures, making them the most budget-friendly option for trainers who need frequent, small rewards.

Integricare TRI-ACTA H.A. Maximum Strength stands out as a market leader for concentrated hyaluronic acid support, offering higher HA levels and targeted joint lubrication that many horse owners choose when seeking rapid symptom relief. Compared with feed-through premixes and herbal complexes on this list, TRI-ACTA's technical advantage is its focus on clinically relevant HA dosing for synovial support, which can justify a premium price for horses needing intensive care. For owners managing performance or aging equine athletes, its potency and brand reputation make it a go-to high-efficacy option.

Mad Barn’s Optimum Digestive Health earns best-in-class recognition for its research-backed multi-strain probiotic, prebiotic and enzyme combination that targets both foregut and hindgut balance; its formulation is technically advanced compared with single-strain or yeast-only options on the market. The product’s lab-driven profile and measurable ingredient list justify a premium price per dose, making it attractive for owners prioritizing validated gut-health outcomes over lower-cost, less-characterized alternatives.

Mad Barn Electro‑Charge is a premium, research‑driven electrolyte powder formulated with a balanced mineral profile and supportive cofactors to promote rapid rehydration and recovery for performance horses. Positioned as the technical leader on this list, it typically commands a higher price but delivers traceable ingredients and lab‑backed formulations that may justify the investment for competitive riders compared with simpler or feed‑based alternatives.

Jamieson Vitamin D3 1000 IU is a market-leading, reliably manufactured daily maintenance dose that fits the single-nutrient supplement use case by delivering consistent, lab-tested cholecalciferol. It outcompetes higher‑dose or specialty D products by offering predictable daily intake and generally lower per-dose cost, making it a practical choice for long-term bone and immune support compared with combination or high‑potency alternatives.
