Since following advice from the Dengie Nutrition team, Grace Cooper has seen incredible changes in her horses. “Before, I wasn’t fully aware of the importance of fibre,” Grace explained. “The guidance from Dengie Performance Horse Nutritionist, Claire Akers M.Sc, during the Wesko 5* Pathway training camp was invaluable. I’ve now switched all my horses to a fibre-based diet!”
Grace’s 4* horse, Cedarmount Cavalier aka Bertie had previously been fed a high-energy mix, which often made him excitable and distracted, particularly in the dressage arena. Claire recommended Dengie Healthy Tummy and Alfa-Beet for Bertie. This high fibre, low starch ration provides slow-release energy without causing excitability.
“Bertie is looking the picture of health since starting his Dengie fibre diet! He now enjoys a generous feed while maintaining an ideal weight and having plenty of energy without the over-excitable behaviour; his coat is shiny too!” Grace shared. “The Nutrition team’s advice has been invaluable, and the Dengie website is incredibly user-friendly, offering a detailed breakdown of all their products. I particularly love that Dengie Healthy Tummy provides a complete diet without the need for an additional balancer. Alfa-Beet is another favourite of mine, being a mash feed it helps me get more water into my horses, which is especially beneficial for those who are reluctant to drink during competitions or while travelling. Bertie has never looked healthier!”
