FAQs
Are these cubes suitable for all horses?
They are best suited for horses at rest or in light work. Horses in moderate to heavy work may require additional feed to meet their energy needs.
How should I introduce the cubes to my horse's diet?
Introduce them gradually over a few days, mixing them with your horse's current feed.
Can I soak these cubes before feeding?
Yes, soaking the cubes can make them easier to chew, especially for horses with dental issues or those that prefer softer feed. Soak in water for 10-15 minutes prior to feeding.
How long can I store an open bag?
Store opened bags in a cool, dry place, and use within a few weeks to maintain freshness.
What is the shelf life of the cubes?
The shelf life is typically indicated on the bag. Ensure it's stored correctly.
Can I feed this to my foal?
This feed is suitable for ponies, but may need to be supplemented with other feeds to meet the full nutritional requirements of foals. It is best to consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist.
What is the fiber content of these cubes?
The fiber content is high, promoting healthy digestion. Specific nutritional information can be found on the product label.
Troubleshooting
Horse is not eating the cubes.
Ensure the cubes are fresh and stored properly. Try mixing them with a small amount of a more palatable feed to encourage consumption. Consult with a veterinarian if the issue persists.
Horse seems to be losing weight.
Adjust the feeding amount to provide more cubes per day, or supplement with a higher energy feed if the horse is in more demanding work. Consult with a veterinarian.
