Trust

More than just a meal. 🤝❤️

Trust is the quiet language of the barn. It’s built in the early mornings, the long rides, and the moments of stillness in the stall.

Your horse trusts you to make the best decisions for their well-being, and we want you to have that same confidence in their feed.

At Elk Grove Milling, we don't just mill feed; we fuel the partnerships that make this lifestyle so rewarding. By maintaining the highest standards of safety and nutritional integrity, we ensure that what goes into the bucket is as honest and reliable as the bond you share.

The Promise: Safe, consistent, and scientifically backed nutrition for the ones who trust you most.

What’s one word that describes the bond you have with your horse? Tell us in the comments! 👇

With temperatures projected to soon reach triple digits for the first time this year, here are some important tips to prevent heat-related problems in horses:

1. Know the signs of fatigue and overheating.
2. Keep your horse hydrated.
3. Keep a supply of water available for your horse to drink.
4. Provide salt and electrolytes as needed.
5. Limit exertion during peak heat.
6. Optimize ventilation in the trailer.
7. Plan ahead for trailering.
8. Provide shade.
9. Ensure good air circulation in barns.
10. To lower body temperature, hose off your horse or pour a bucket of water over your horse.

Mythbusters:
* It is a myth that if a hot horse drinks water, it will experience colic or other medical problems.
*Research has shown that sweat scraping, or removing water from the horse’s coat, is not necessary. Failing to remove excess water will not make your horse any hotter or have detrimental effects on health.

‼️SCREWWORM UPDATE 06/08/2026 ‼️

As of June 8, 2026, there have now been multiple New World Screwworm detections in Texas, with one being in a county bordering New Mexico. Livestock movement restrictions are in place in Texas and information can be found here: https://www.tahc.texas.gov/



Currently, the US-Mexico border is closed to all livestock exports from the US to Mexico for any reason. This includes all horses. All livestock imports from Mexico to the US are still closed as well. Further, Canada is now restricting all imports of any livestock, including horses, from Texas, and prevents any livestock from entering Canda that have resided in or transited Texas in the previous 21 days prior to importation to Canada.
