Just a few questions we're asked frequently. As they age, it is often a challenge to know what is best to feed your horse, considering changes to work load, environment and health. Ageing horses have different nutritional needs than they did when they were younger. Older equines can be prone to weight loss and digestive issues, so will need a high-fibre, high-protein diet to maintain muscle mass and support overall health. You may also need to make adjustments in feeding rates to achieve and maintain an ideal weight.
As your horse gets older and becomes more susceptible to dental issues, they may find it more difficult to chew and digest their regular feed. It might be necessary to swap their feed for a softer blend or soak their hay to make it easier for them to chew and digest.

Senior horse feeds, such as Honeychop Super Senior, are specifically formulated to meet the needs of older horses 🌿

• Soft chop, ideal for those with poor dentition.
• Added glucosamine for joint health.
• Natural probiotics to support a healthy digestive system.
• High oil, low sugar and starch.
• Recommended for those prone to laminitis and gastric ulcers.

📣Don’t forget, you can save £2.00 on Super Senior this month, while stocks last❗️(𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺).

As always, if you have any feeding queries, please send us a message 📩

Ah, sugar beet! The beloved winter staple that many horse owners swear by to boost condition. But before you let your horse dive headfirst into that bucket of soaked sugar beet, let’s take a moment to unravel the mystery behind this winter staple.

Sugar beet is indeed a root vegetable, and the sugar beet pulp we often feed is a by-product of the sugar processing industry. It serves as an excellent source of highly digestible fibre, providing energy (calories) comparable to cereal grains and conditioning feeds. However, one crucial point to note is the significant increase in volume after soaking. This can easily lead to overestimating the actual calories being fed. For example, a Stubbs scoop of soaked sugar beet can contain up to four times fewer calories than a scoop of ‘Horse and Pony Cubes.’

Soaking times for sugar beet can vary considerably, from as little as ten minutes to up to 24 hours for certain products. It’s crucial to weigh your sugar beet before soaking to ensure accurate feeding amounts.

It's important to remember that sugar beet is low in minerals and lacks essential vitamins. For this reason, it should always be fed alongside a suitable compound feed, balancer, or broad-spectrum supplement to ensure your horse receives a balanced diet.

As winter approaches and sugar beet becomes a common addition to many feed bowls, consider if it's the right choice for your horse or pony.

Winter can be a challenging time for horse owners, with the cold, wet weather making it harder for our horses and ponies to maintain their condition. But fear not! We can help make one thing easier with our tried-and-tested feeding solutions.

SPILLERS Conditioning Fibre is an excellent option for those horses that struggle to maintain weight. This high-oil feed provides a fantastic source of 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, helping to build condition safely. Not only does oil deliver essential fatty acids, but it also acts as the icing on the cake for achieving that coveted 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲.

When selecting feeds for your horse, especially those prone to unwanted excitability, choose fibre-based options that contain low or restricted amounts of starch and sugar. This approach supports 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 and reduces the risk of excitability. Did you know that cereal starch is the most common cause of feed-related excitability in bucket feeds? By opting for feeds rich in highly digestible fibre and oil, you can provide a sympathetic alternative to high-starch options.

SPILLERS Conditioning Fibre is soft, short-chopped fibre designed to build condition and enhance coat shine without causing excitability. It’s high in oil to support ultimate coat shine while delivering 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 for condition. Additionally, it’s low in sugar and starch to promote digestive health and includes a blend of short-chopped alfalfa and straw to 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Enriched with quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, SPILLERS Conditioning Fibre ensures a 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁 for your horse.
