Other Forages

Grass is what we all think of as horse food! The nutrient value varies over a wide range, being highest when the grass is in its early stages of growth, and lower after it has seeded. Most our grass feeds are made from chopped, flash-dried grass. Grass has useful levels of phosphorous, and calcium. Carbohydrate and protein levels are highest in young grass and lower in older grass, which has higher fibre levels. Generally, the higher carbohydrate levels and useful iron levels make grass feeds ideal for horses in harder work. Breeding stock without access to pasture, Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods all do well on grass feeds. Unmolassed Beet Pulp is not strictly a forage, but is an excellent source of digestible fibre and as it is fed soaked, makes a succulent addition to the feed. Being unmolassed, it is unlikely to cause scouring, so can be fed in generous amounts.

PuraBeet

DE MJ/kg 11 - Net Weight: 20kg - Presentation: 5mm dia. pellets

Pure unmolassed beet pulp. Once the sugar has been taken away from beet pulp, a very useful fibre feed remains, highly digestible and holding a considerable amount of water for use later. We ensure beet is unmolassed, so not affecting temperament by raising blood sugar levels. Increases in volume 6 times when soaked. Safe for laminitics. Excellent for horses in prolonged work, helping maintain hydration. Supplies calcium and lysine.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 7%, Crude Fibre 18%, Ash 11%.

Blue Bag Grass Pellets

DE MJ/kg 9 - Net Weight: 20kg - Presentation: 6mm dia. pellets

Horses that do well at grass in the summer but drop off when stabled or in the winter thrive on grass nuts. The Blue Bag Grass Pellets provide good quality grass all year round and suit most horse and ponies in moderate work. Thoroughbreds do especially well on them. Use with confidence knowing that you are feeding only grass. The pellets are small enough for feeding balls.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 9%, Crude Fibre 30%, Oil 2%, Ash 7%.

Red Bag Grass Pellets

DE MJ/kg 11 - Net Weight: 20kg - Presentation: 6mm dia. pellets

Providing all the goodness of spring grass and an overall energy level more than 10% greater than oats, they are the feed of choice for high performance horses, racing, eventing, jumping or breeding high value foals early in the year. The energy is released a little more steadily than that from cereals, so horses should settle more quickly to their work and have more stamina.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 22%, Crude Fibre 21%, Oil 4%, Ash 10%.

JustGrass

DE MJ/kg 9 - Net Weight: 12.5kg - Presentation: coarse chop

Chopped, flash dried and dust extracted; use as a chop or hay replacer and to accustom horses to grass again before spring turnout. Our producer shares our view of what best suits horses, using mixed species of grass. This gives a softer, more palatable chop with lower levels of natural sugars.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 15%, Crude Fibre 25%, Oil 4.5%, Ash 11%.

RuffStuff

DE MJ/kg 9 - Net Weight: 15kg - Presentation: coarse chop

This is similar to Justgrass, but made from mature grass. The feed value is lower and the fibre higher, to give a feed higher in roughage. Ideal for good doers, natives and resting horses.


Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 8%, Crude Fibre 33%, Oil 2%, Ash 5%.

EnduroComplete

DE MJ/kg 11.5 - Net Weight: 20kg - Presentation: 3mm dia. pellets

A complete feed based on lucerne with a raft of other nourishing ingredients including linseed, seaweed, brewers’ yeast, beet pulp and salt. Use as a complete manger feed at home, but also when travelling and staying away from home for competitions, it can form the total diet. Moisten well with water for an instant wet feed. Free from all added sugars, grains and pulses, so suitable for elderly, laminitic and horses prone to tying up. Suitable for all hard working competition or show horses where a consistent, steady release of energy is paramount.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 15%, Crude Fibre 25%, Oil 4.5%, Ash 6%.
