If your horse is a good doer and or laminitis prone then this is crucial information for you.

Not a lot of people realise that as well as sugar and starch being too high it can also be too low for horses.

The numbers:
✨ Natural Meadow Cobs = 6 MJ/kg
✨ Spring grass = 10.4MJ/kg

You can also use Natural Meadow Cobs as a ‘bulker’ alongside a balancer for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The fibrous mash increases chew time and will keep your horse or pony fuller, for longer. 😋

(*average DE for grass over spring from our own laboratory analyses)

Proud to be a Forageplus stockist..👌🏻

The secret facts about horse feeding:
‌
🌟 You just match your bucket feed contents to grass and hay and make up what is missing.
‌
🌟 You simply choose a carrier you and your horse like and pop in the measured forage focused balancer amount for the bodyweight of your horse.
‌
🌟 Now you know that with that measure you are filling the nutritional gaps according to a common statistical average of what is deficient in grass and hay.
‌
🌟 Watch your horse bloom and blossom in ways you never thought possible for …….
‌
✅ Healthy, summer robust skin
‌
✅ Vibrant, deeply gleaming, shiny coat colour
‌
✅ Resilient tendons, ligaments and joints
‌
✅ The strongest immune system
‌
✅ Healthy muscles which can develop and maintain softness
‌
✅ Healthy nerves which don’t trigger spooky behavioural episodes
‌
✅ A well functioning metabolic system to help control weight gain or loss
‌
✅ Good fertility and bone for brood mares and growing foals and young horses.
‌
✅ A healthy digestive lining created by the body having sufficient nutrients to stop ulcers and inflammation.
‌
✅ Strong liver function
‌
✅ Healthy joints with the critical nutrients to keep cartilage lubricated and intact
‌
✅ Structurally sound and robust hooves with a strong laminae connection, thick soles and the healthiest white line.
‌
‌
💫 Does it make sense to you, that to truly balance horse diets we must look at what is missing in what they eat the most of?
‌
It does to us! But it’s still largely a secret because if you look closely, other feed companies don’t use this approach.
‌
💥 If you know the horse feeding secret then you’ll discover horse health and performance you never knew was possible.

“Here at AVL we believe it's extremely important to make sure your horses daily vitamins and minerals are met, without the feed containing high sugar and starch or any fillers/ binding agents.

We started feeding Forageplus 7 years ago after alot of research into the right balancer, and the struggles of finding something that wasn't full of rubbish!

This is the average daily dose that each of our horses receive. (Pictured)

Their balancers are formulated based on data gathered from the main vitamins and minerals that are deficient in forage in the UK (with other countries now being introduced). The winter balancer, pictured, is based on any dry forage in the UK, such a hay or haylage. You can also have a custom made balancer depending on the results from your forage analysis to meet what's missing.

Horses cannot get enough vitamins and minerals from forage alone.

So just this scoop, dampened down in some chaff with added micronised linseed and salt is the base of all our feeds. We can then add supplements or conditioning feeds to tailor to the individual.

Remember that although your horse may seem 'fine' nutritional deficiencies only shown after some time. Think of children raised on an insufficient diet, and how as an adult this affects their life in many ways from poor bone density, poor skin, hair and nails, poor immunity and early onset medical conditions.

The same goes for our horses!

After 5 years of using their products we became affiliated with FP. Rest assured we only recommend products we actually use and think are worth it.”

Free from molasses and providing just 2.5% of naturally occurring sugar, Dengie Healthy Hooves Molasses Free is one of the lowest sugar feeds in the Dengie range!
Most fibrous materials, including straw, contain some sugar and so “sugar free” feeds do not exist. ‘No added sugar’ is a more accurate term and in the context of chaffs or chopped fibre feeds it means either no coating at all or an oil coating has been used which doesn’t contribute any sugar. The fibre base ingredients will naturally contain some sugar.

If you are looking for a low-calorie feed with the lowest sugar level, look for a feed that doesn’t contain grass. Any feed containing grass will have a higher level of sugar as grass is naturally abundant in sugar. Whereas Dengie Healthy Hooves Molasses Free contains chopped alfalfa and straw which are naturally low in sugar compared to grass.
