For good do-ers and those with insulin dysregulation, straw is a great source of forage that can mixed with the usual forage ration to encourage foraging behaviour without supplying too many additional calories or too much extra sugar. The nutritional benefits of herbs have been well documented for many years, and in their natural environment horses would have selected specific plants to help them maintain their health and well-being. If your parcel incurs customs fees upon entering the UK, we cannot cover these expenses, and your items will be sent back to you.

The British Horse Society and the RSPCA have some useful pictorial guides to common poisonous plants. Munch is fortified – additional vitamins and minerals will top up reduced supply from a restricted diet. Mixing the hedgerow items through the usual forage encourages the horse to “forage” or sort through the different materials looking for those that are tastiest. My mini shetland has cushings and I feel these herbs have a great inflammatory action and help her to remain laminitis free along with management of her grass intake .As pastures have changed over the years, the availability of many of these essential plants has disappeared — Dodson and Horrell Hedgerow Herbs is a dried blend which can be added to your horse’s feed to ensure they are receiving all of the goodness that nature intended. It is important to highlight that these results are from just one sample of each plant and so should be considered indicative of what our horses were munching at that snapshot in time at the end of May. These materials will vary in nutritional value throughout the year and are being fed fresh whereas forages are conserved for use in winter and so are more stable in the levels of nutrients they are contributing to the ration.

The rate of intake of munch is relatively slow and so the volumes entering the digestive tract will be relatively low too. If using vitamunch for a horse that has a goat or sheep as a stable companion, consider feeding the vitamunch in a munch net out of the reach of their ovine or caprine friend.He has cut his eye in the past browsing the hawthorn hedge so to help give him what he is after he has this supplement with contains hawthorn along with other beneficial herbs horses don't tend to get in their pastures today.
