Horse Feed

Forage should always be the foundation of every horse and pony's diet, with extra feed added only to balance out nutrients that may be in short supply from the forage.

Benefits of feeding good quality forage (grass) to horses, include:

  1. Source of all-important fibre
  2. Keeps the hindgut microflora balanced and healthy
  3. Takes a long time to chew; therefore fills the horse's time, thereby reducing the risk of boredom or abnormal behaviour in the horse
  4. Supports normal digestive system function, reducing the risk of gastric ulcers.

What makes "GOOD" Grass for Horses.

  1. Specially selected grass varieties like Lolium Multiflorum, Lolium Perene, Festuca Pratensis, etc...
  2. Grass must be harvested during an exact period of growth to supplyhigh quality forage for horses and ponies maximum amount of natural vitamins, proteins and micronutrients.
  3. Grass field must not be polluted with weeds, mole grounds, dead animals, etc
  4. Maximum hygienic harvesting technologies and conditions
  5. No chemicals added to preserve the grass
  6. Fermented grass must have a pleasant light smell and appear yellow-green in color.

Why Forage Quality Matters.

  1. When horse's respiratory apparatus is not polluted with dust, bacteria or mold spores, it will be able to reach maximum results in any competition or work.
  2. Long term polluted, dusty forage or environment will inevitably lead to:
         a) respiratory problems
         b) fertility problems (especially in mares)
         c) blood problems
         d) decrease in overall health and performance
  3. It is the main forage quality that guarantees the overall health and proper physical functions of horses - NOT! different feed additives and supplements.
    To put it simply, this means that it better to feed your horse good forage, rather than giving it extra supplements and boosters.
