Horse Feed

At Equusnola, we believe in providing your horse with the highest-quality nutrition through 100% natural ingredients. Our chaffed horse feed is designed to accompany forage and complements concentrates perfectly, making it a versatile addition to your horse’s diet. It’s especially beneficial for older horses with dental issues or horses who tend to eat their concentrates too quickly.

 

We source only the best raw materials to create our feed, which is made from a carefully crafted blend of chaffed wheat straw, oat hay, and lucerne. Each ingredient is chosen for its nutritional value, ensuring your horse receives the essential fibres and nutrients it needs to thrive.

Why Fibre Matters:

Fibre is the cornerstone of your horse’s diet. Horses are natural fibre digesters, a horses digestive system is almost entirely devoted to the digestion and absorption of nutrients from fibre. That’s why our feed is perfectly suited for those looking to provide a fibre-rich diet to support your horse’s digestive health and overall well-being.

 

Feeding chaff is an excellent way to support your horse's diet. Not only does it provide essential forage (which should be the foundation of any horse’s diet), but it also encourages chewing. This is important because, unlike humans, horses only produce saliva while chewing. The act of chewing stimulates the production of saliva, which helps protect the upper stomach from acid and supports gastric health.

 

 

Soaking Your Horse's Chaff

At Equusnola, we highly recommend soaking chaff before feeding. Soaking helps increase your horse’s water intake, especially during warmer months, and reduces sugars and non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), making it a great option for horses with metabolic concerns. It also eliminates dust, making the chaff easier to chew and swallow—reducing the risk of choking or impaction colic.

 

Give your horse the best care with the right feeding choices.
