Products

The products shown on these pages are suggested as broad guidelines and include a range of feeds which may be suitable for your horse. Each horse is different and we do welcome enquiries via our helpline 01728 604008 or email info@simplesystem.co.uk so that we can make specific suggestions tailored to your horse and individual circumstances. If several different categories are relevant to your horse, why not try the Advanced Search facility.

Thoroughbred (Stressed/Anxious)

Thoroughbreds can often be particularly sensitive to soluble carbohydrates (sugars and starches) in the diet and this often shows itself in stressy, excitable behaviour. Simple System Ltd feeds contain only naturally occurring sugars and starches which are only released slowly into the blood stream as the plant cells are broken down. One of our balancers which contains Traditional Brewers Yeast feeds the fibre-digesting gut bugs which in turn produce B vitamins to support the nervous system.

Lucie Nuts/Lucie Pellets

DE MJ/kg 9.7 - Net Weight: 20kg - Presentation: 10-12mm dia. pellets

The most economical and versatile way to feed lucerne. More choice than ever! We can now offer LuciePellets. This is the same high quality lucerne that goes into our LucieNuts, but the pellets are smaller at 6mm instead of 10-12mm of the Nuts.
If you prefer to use dry feeds this may be more appropriate. They also fit better into feed balls and are a little less expensive.
However, even if you may find feeding dry more convenient, it is better to feed at least well dampened and best to feed soaked - after all grazing is around 70% or more water

The Nuts are fatter than many pellets, with a coarser grist. Soaked, they form a fine chop. In small amounts, they can be mixed into plenty of soaked, unmolassed beet pulp. Soaked with beet pulp, they make a complete feed to replace hay for horses sensitive to dust. Elderly horses find this easy to eat. Safe for laminitics. A handful can be scattered around the stable or paddock to extend eating time and relieve boredom. Will provide muscle and top line without alteration to temperament.

Typical Analysis: Crude Protein 18%, Crude Fibre 28%, Oil 3.5%, Ash 9.7%.
