How Hard Are You Working Your Horse?

The amount and kind of work your horse or pony is doing is an important factor when calculating the quantity and type of feed to give. Alfa-A Oil provides sufficient energy to meet the requirements of working horses, even those in hard work.

NOTE: Horses are individuals and so always adjust your horse’s feed ration to suit his temperament and condition as well as his work load.

Less Tetchy Behaviour and Looking Fantastic!

Bridget Allen purchased six-year-old Bunny for her daughter Philippa, who is a keen Pony Club member, to bring on herself. Bunny had previously been quite an unhappy mare, who got particularly tetchy when being touched or groomed. After changing to a fibre-based ration Bunny is far less tetchy, and it’s kept her looking fantastic.

Maintaining Condition & Aiding Digestive Health

Dudley is such big horse it’s never been easy to keep weight on, but I’d never seen him look so poor. After taking him to Oakham and discovering he had ulcers, we were stuck with where his career might go; he kept losing weight and consequently felt flat, grumpy and uncomfortable – above all he was unable to do his beloved job!
