To prepare Simple System Timothy Chop, dampen it with water before feeding. The amount of water will depend on the horse's preference and the consistency of the feed desired. Ensure the chop is thoroughly mixed with the water to avoid dry pockets. This product is compatible with most horses and can be incorporated into existing feeding routines.
