FAQs
Are these cubes suitable for all horses?
Equerry High Fibre Cubes are ideal for horses and ponies at rest or in light work, and for 'good-doers'. They may not be suitable as the sole feed for horses in moderate to heavy work. Always monitor your horse's condition.
Can I feed these cubes to a horse with dental issues?
Yes, the cubes can be soaked in water to create a mash, which is easier for horses with dental problems to eat.
How should I store the cubes?
Store the cubes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests. Ensure the packaging is properly sealed to maintain freshness.
How much should I feed my horse?
Feeding amounts depend on your horse’s weight, workload, and individual needs. Consult the feeding guidelines on the packaging and consider consulting with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist for personalized advice.
Are the cubes a complete feed?
The cubes are a supplementary feed. They provide a source of fibre and essential nutrients, but may not meet all the nutritional needs of a horse in moderate to heavy work. They can be used as a complete feed for horses at rest.
What are the key ingredients?
The cubes are made from high-fibre sources, and are enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, including magnesium. They are free from cereal grains and low in sugar and starch.
Can I mix these cubes with other feeds?
Yes, you can mix the cubes with other feeds. Introduce the new feed gradually to allow your horse's digestive system to adjust.
Troubleshooting
