Favourite Dodson & Horrell feed and why? – Elite Sports Muesli as its low in starch and sugar for those that are particularly sensitive to starch levels. It also has a high oil content for added condition and as an energy source. It also packs a mighty punch with additional support for the hind gut, antioxidants and fibre plus complex which helps improve fibre digestibility. Also includes additional Vitamin E and it is oat free!
Top Feeding Tip – If your horse is prone to gastric ulceration, feed a couple of handfuls of alfalfa prior to exercise. This will create a ‘mattress’ of fibre that will act to reduce splashing of stomach acid to protect the stomach lining.
