Organic / Natural Feeds

Suppliers of organic feed for your horse are listed below.

 

The vast majority of horse feeds contain an array of synthetic chemicals, preservatives and additives, the effects of these are not truly understood  Soya, Soya oil and Maize within horse feed are of particular concern.    Many horse feeds also come from genetically modified crops; GM foods are justifiably causing great concern. 

 

Organic farmers work in harmony with the land avoiding artificial fertilisers and pesticides, this results in healthy fertile soil and crops with far higher nutrient values; many horse owners are now looking for organic alternatives for feeding their horses. There has been a huge shift towards trying to keep horses in a more natural state; limiting contaminants to the immune system can have considerable impact on the overall health and well being of your horse.

 

Due to a relative lack of organic ingredients available for horses, the suppliers or organic horse feed are currently fairly limited.   Most organic ingredients tend to be relatively high in energy and protein, yet low in fibre, so the availability of high fibre feeds is currently quite limited, but it is a growing marketplace and feed manufacturers are recognising the importance of developing organic feeds more and more.

 

If you want to keep your horse totally organically, other issues need to be considered including hay/haylage, supplements, bedding, pasture management, wormers, fly sprays, and a variety of other products we use on and around our horses.  Please explore the links above for other natural horse products available to buy online.
