  • Fibre Mix

Suitable for:

  • A bran, sugar beet and chaff replacer
  • An appetiser for shy feeders
  • A feed for horses and ponies on box rest
  • A feed for overweight horses and ponies

Diet Description:

  • The horse evolved to digest fibre and to eat for 18 out of 24 hours a day.
  • The principle behind Saracen Fibre Mix stems from the need to add dust-free, natural, long fibre to the diet.
  • Most of the fibre fed to horses is of low feed value which is why we have to balance our horse's diets with cereals. However, a horse will be happier and healthier if it is fed a proportion of Saracen Fibre Mix to replace part of its cereal diet.
