New to Allen & Page’s hugely popular Barley & Molasses Free Range, is an excellent new feed, Veteran Light, which has been specifically formulated for older horses and ponies that are good doers.
Providing all the nutritional requirements for optimum health (when fed at recommended levels) as horses get older, it still achieves a low calorie/energy level which is ideal for those who hold weight too well.
Being high in fibre and low in both starch and sugar (less than 10% combined starch/sugar), it is also suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis. Made using only the finest Non-GM, Vegetarian Society Approved ingredients, Veteran Light also includes prebiotics and probiotics to help maintain a healthy digestive system and linseed is added as a source of Omega 3. It also contains a carefully selected blend of herbs with added vitamin C and a high level of vitamin E. In addition, Veteran Light is also suitable for horses and ponies with intolerances to barley, molasses, alfalfa and/or soya.
Veteran Light is highly palatable, even to fussy feeders and is perfectly suited to those at rest or in light work. For older horses that may struggle to chew and would therefore benefit from a soaked feed, Veteran Light is quick soaking in just 30-60 seconds.
Veteran Light is BETA NOPS approved, as is the whole of the Barley & Molasses Free Range. BETA NOPS is a scheme designed to reduce the risk of naturally occurring prohibited substances in equine feed.
Allen & Page has produced a free factsheet on Feeding Veterans which is available from stockists, and as a download via the website at www.veteranhorsefeeds.co.uk
