Feed to your own recipe – on your terms

Feed to your own recipe – on your terms

Owners face all sorts of challenges in feeding their horses, because every horse has its own needs. One needs more energy, another gains weight more quickly, and another has a sensitive stomach or an allergy to something in the diet. Standard feeds often do not solve all of this – which is why, at Grassland, we decided to go a step further and let you build a feed matched to your horse.

Horse owners know very well how hard it can sometimes be to find a feed that truly matches the needs of a particular animal. It was that observation that gave rise to the question: what if a feed could be created individually, just as a suit is made to measure? This approach makes it possible to match the mix to different types of horse, both those with health problems and those that are picky or have special nutritional requirements.

For horses with metabolic and digestive problems….Not every horse responds well to the same ingredients. An individual feed makes it possible to support horses with metabolic problems, such as EMS, insulin resistance or ulcers, by controlling the starch and sugar content. This also makes it possible to match the energy concentration of the feed and the speed at which it is released in the horse’s body. 

Dla niejadków… Many horses are picky and regularly leave part of their feed in the manger, simply because they do not like a particular ingredient. With personalisation it can be removed or replaced with another, while keeping the mix complete. It is a simple way for the horse to eat more willingly, and for the owner to be sure that nothing is wasted.

Dla alergików…This is a particularly useful option for horses with allergies or food intolerances. Removing ingredients that trigger unwanted reactions in the body avoids health problems and at the same time looks after the horse’s comfort. In such cases, ready-made feeds rarely prove sufficient: only a personalised mix gives full control over the composition and the safety of feeding.

Jak to działa? The whole process is very simple. You can choose to develop the recipe together with our nutrition adviser, or provide ready guidelines on the basis of which we will mix the feed. Before the final version of the feed is made, we talk things through and hold consultations, so that we understand your horse’s needs as well as possible and match the ingredients. Once the recipe is accepted, we start production: the minimum order is 300 kg, and we can pack the feed in Big Bags or in sacks of different sizes (16 kg and 8 kg). It usually takes about two weeks, and the final price depends on the composition of the recipe and the size of the order.

Dlaczego warto? An individual feed is the answer to the everyday challenges horse owners face, from health problems to pickiness, and not only for those with a single horse, but also for owners of several horses in a yard. With a suitably chosen mix, one feed can be created that meets the needs of the whole group. It is a solution that lets you be sure every ingredient in the feed was chosen deliberately!
