Total Feeds, Inc. Tuesday Q and A:

Q: What happens if you feed your horses more than 4 lbs? (Recommended weight)

A: The feeding rate of Total Equine is very flexible and can be fed at the base rate of 4.0 lb. per day per 1,000 lb. bodyweight with good quality hay, 8.0 lb. per day with no hay or free-choice to an extremely underweight horse and no hay; all with no fear of digestive problems and will not make the horse get fat. So, the only thing that will happen if you feed more than 4.0 per day is that the horse will become more muscular and less body fat.

Biography:

As the co-founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network (CLN) Cowboy Lifestyle Network - now a western media powerhouse with over 4 million fans, Danny has become a trusted voice in rodeo culture, horse care, and Western traditions. CLN’s success is no accident; it’s built on Danny’s deep understanding of the Western way of life-its values, people, and economic engine. His work connects brands, events, and fans across a thriving industry, from the Rodeo Scottsdale to the Super Bowl Party Trophy Bar.

Danny’s journey from Arizona ranch life to Western media trailblazer is rooted in authenticity, grit, and community. Danny’s passion started early, shaped by eight years in Pinal County’s 4-H program, where he raised lambs and learned ranching hands-on. At Arizona State University, he became a division 1 collegiate diver, team captain, and earned a B.S. degree - fueling his entrepreneurial spirit. After a decade of corporate management experience, he launched CLN with his brother Patrick to amplify the voice of the Western community.

"Giving back has always mattered to me," Danny shares. His ongoing support for Horses Help, Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, and a 25-year CLN Christmas Toy Drive speaks volumes. Through action, Danny has built not just a brand, but a legacy of trust and impact in the Western world.
