Underweight rescue mare now in perfect condition

When Jess first got her rescue mare Robin she was concerned with how underweight she was. Jess contacted the Dengie Feedline for advice where Equine Nutritionist Tracey Hammond suggested Dengie Healthy Tummy for Robin. Healthy Tummy is based on alfalfa, a highly digestible fibre source and is also fully balanced with vitamins and minerals as well as including digestive aids.

“The difference feeding Healthy Tummy has made from when I first got her a couple of months ago to now is amazing” says Jess. “She has gone from being able to see nearly every bone in her body to being the perfect weight. When I first got Robin, she was also very lethargic and her coat was very poor. She now loves to play with my other horse, I’m starting to bring her into work which she is really enjoying, and she has a lovely summer coat!”
