SOMETIMES.... IGNORE THE NAME!! ๐ง
Sometimes an unlikely product name might be just what your horse could benefit from. For example:
โ
Spillers Gro N Win: a stud balancer that is also excellent for muscle-wasted horses during rehab after injury/illness due to its high good quality protein content and elevated vitamins and minerals. Also useful to balance long-soaked hay where protein requirements are elevated e.g. PPID, and for horses with myopathies who need elevated good quality protein
โ
Bailey's Ease & Excel, Saracen's ReLeve and Dodson & Horrell ERS Cubes are all feeds for working horses needing a low starch diet for tying up/gastric ulcers, but all are relatively low starch medium energy compounds that are ideal for weight gain in any horse in light work. Their low starch content make them especially useful for fizzy, reactive horses.
โ
Dengie Alfa-A Oil: not just for working horses! Feed 1-2kg overnight (dampened) with the normal haynet to 'upgrade' nutritionally-poor forage
It's what's in the bag that your horse's body responds to, not what's on the bag
What examples do you have of feeds you've used with success, which are not an obvious choice?
