Purina, hands down. I can feed Purina Strategy at 1/2 ration to the Legends with the same results. I compliment a wet ration of beet pulp and alfafa cubes with Strategy and all my horses from mares to hunters thrive. The cost savings is a plus. It is rare that I deal with even the mildest case of colic. Both vets that I use recommend it. I've been pleased.

While I don't like or use Strategy, I use Purina feeds exclusively at the track. And have for years. Ultium is my utmost favorite feed, while expensive you feed MUCH less of it. I also use their Equine Senior and Race Ready. Love them all.

Definitely Purina. I feed Ultium and have seen such a huge difference in my horses. (Except my broodmares and foals- they get Omolene 300). I also feed a little bit Purina Amplify with their grain and it is the only supplement I've had to add.
