During the winter months, when turnout is limited and exercise levels are often reduced, it can be a challenge to maintain optimum condition without the risk of triggering over-exuberance! Chestnut Horse Feeds’ balanced, nutritious and natural feed products may provide the solution this season with the inclusion of oil in all of their complete feed products. 
 
Chestnut Horse Feeds pride themselves on providing natural, fibre-rich equine feeds which are kind to the sensitive equine digestive system as well as being packed full of nutrients, quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Using products such as Alpha Easy and Alpha Plus, customers needn’t worry about over excitable behaviour from their horses this winter, as instead of seeking nutrition through starch, Chestnut Horse Feeds use oil instead.

 Adding oil to horse feed has been a standard practice for many years as oil is high in omega 3 fatty acids which is well known to help promote healthy skin and a shiny, glossy coat. An oil-rich feed such as Alpha Plus offers slow release calories helping to maintain excellent condition without inducing fizzy or spooky behaviour. For those requiring slightly lower calorie ingredients, Alpha Easy is lightly coated in oil to offer the health and performance benefits at a lower intake – ideal for those horses prone to weight gain.

 Providing a feed source that contains oil allows horse owners to safely increase the calorie content of the feed without the need to supply a large bucket of bulky feed. As well as being high in oil, all of Chestnut Horse Feeds products are high in fibre, with the inclusion of either long stemmed alfalfa or oat straw, which slows down consumption and helps ensure each and every mouthful is efficiently digested.

Chestnut Horse Feeds is only available to buy direct and can be delivered in the exclusive Bulk Bin Feeding System which is provided on free loan for the life-span of the feed, or in 20kg bags. Chestnut Horse Feeds complete feeds start from as little as £11.50.
