Honeychop Lite and Healthy Horse Feed is a non-heating, low-sugar fibre feed free from molasses, suitable for horses, ponies, and donkeys prone to laminitis.
Honeychop Lite and Healthy Horse Feed is coated with linseed and rapeseed oil, including oat straw, timothy grass, herbs, marigolds, and cinnamon. Linseed oil is high in omega 3 fatty acids, ideal to promote health and a glossy coat. Blended with a mix of real herbs known for their natural antioxidant properties, it is a low sugar palatable fibre feed to add to a horse, pony, or donkey’s diet.
With a typical sugar content of 3%, which is made up of all natural sugars, this feed limits the sugar intake in a horse, pony, or donkey’s diet. The blend of natural fibres and selected herbs adds natural variety, mimicking the natural environment in which horses should graze.
Rapeseed oil is a good source of vitamin E and an aid to digestion. The inclusion of oil helps horses and ponies maintain strong hooves, glossy coats, and better all-round condition. It is also known to have beneficial effects for horses with stiff joints.
Marigolds contain antioxidants, which help against digestive inflammation. They are a rich source of vitamins A and C. Cinnamon acts as an antioxidant which can lead to improved health. Thyme is an anti-spasmodic and can help inflammation or infection of the respiratory tract. Oregano contains elements that help with digestion and stimulates the immune system. Mint is germicidal and a breath freshener. Basil is a natural antiseptic and known for being an antioxidant that aids digestion. Timothy grass is naturally lower in sugar than most other grasses. Honeychop Lite and Healthy also contains limestone flour which is a calcium supplement vital for healthy growth, strong bones, teeth, and hooves.
