We all know how important fibre is for our horses health, and our TrueFibre hay pellets make getting their daily intake easier than ever!
Why choose hay pellets?
🌱 More benefits for less - just one scoop of hay pellets is equivalent to 3 scoops of standard chaff. That means you can feed less for more nutritional benefits.
🌱 Less wastage - no more worrying about wasted hay
🌱 Dust-free - perfect for horses with dust allergies or those that need their hay soaked.
🌱 Hydration boost - our range of hay pellets can be fed dry or soaked, providing a great way to increase hydration for your horse.

Happy healthy horses on GastroFuel ❤️

11/12/2024

It looks to be an absolute scorcher this weekend at Young Horse Show. With soaring temperatures horses can become easily dehydrated, which can affect their overall energy levels and wellbeing.
💦 Hydration is key. Horses lose a lot of water through sweat, so make sure fresh water is always available.
🌱 Keep their fibre intake up to help support their digestion.
💫 Use a product like CoolFibre, Timothy Pellets or Lucerne Pellets to help boost water intake through soaking them into a mash.
🍃CoolFibre and TrueFibre Lucerne Pellets are also high in protein which can help support muscle repair and recovery for horses competing.
Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend - let us know below what shows you are heading to!

Here’s to cleaner, greener, and more sustainable operations ahead! 🌿
