For your horse, hay is the essential basis of the diet: it should always be available in quantity to ensure good digestive transit. Wheat straw provides comfortable, absorbent bedding. Oats are the reference cereal for exertion, with a gradual energy release gentler than corn or barley. Rolled barley, more digestible than whole grain, suits horses that struggle to digest raw cereals. Dried beet pulp, which must be rehydrated before use, provides digestible fibre and gentle energy, particularly suited to older horses or those with difficulty chewing regular forage.
