Full details
This guide is for horse owners looking for a low-sugar, high-fibre feeding solution for their horses. Equiblox Hi Fibre Hay Blocks are designed to prolong feeding time, making them ideal for good doers, those prone to weight gain, and laminitis sufferers. However, it's important to note that while highly palatable, these blocks have low nutritional value and should be used as a treat or complementary feed, not a complete diet replacement.
