Favourite Dodson & Horrell feed and why? - Staypower Muesli/Cubes- suits so may horses in different disciplines, and I find that it provides horses with enough power for the job whilst being able to remain controllable!
Top Feeding Tip – HORSES DON’T EAT PERCENTAGES. It is always worth bearing in mind the total intake your horse will eat over the whole day to really calculate what you are feeding, and it might help you make the right choice when comparing new feeds.
What product would you recommend every store to stock? – Kwik Beet as it is an easily digestible fibre source suitable for all horses. It is a great way of providing additional calories whilst remaining very low in starch and sugar. Also great for horses that struggle to chew, or where you would like to encourage more water intake.
