A high fibre diet is natural to the horse, mimicking the continual grazing that his gut evolved to thrive on. Fibre provides slow release energy, ideal for maintaining condition.
For this reason, many leisure horses will receive adequate energy for work and to maintain condition from grazing and forage alone. However, fibre alone is unlikely to provide all the micro-nutrients required for health and vitality.
Vitamins and minerals are particularly likely to be low in preserved forage, such as hay or haylage, and where grazing is less than optimum, such as closely grazed paddocks, fast growing grass and in areas of high rainfall.
General Purpose Supplement provides a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals for health and vitality.
Designed to complement the high fibre, low concentrate diet, General Purpose Supplement is ideal for all horses and ponies receiving less than manufacturer’s recommended rates of hard feed.
