Spring
Concern

It’s universally agreed that laminitis
is a complex problem for which there is
no one answer, but advice is that horses
be fed a low starch-low sugar-high fibre
diet, thus reducing energy intake but
maintaining fibre intake. It is also advisable
to avoid too much lush Spring grass. Badminton
Horse Feeds can offer the horse owner
a selection of products, suitable for
use in a laminitis management programme.
Badminton Easy Rider is one of the new
long fibre feeds. It is low in starch
with no added sugar, no alfalfa and no
barley. Easy Rider has the correct balance
of fibre and feed already mixed together
in one bag. Pure dried British-grown grass
and oat straw provide slow release energy
and small pellets contain a full vitamin
and mineral pack to meet your horse’s
daily needs when fed at the recommended
rates. A natural blend of essential oils
from herbs and spices is added to enhance
fibre digestion, as well as extra biotin
for hoof condition.

Badminton High
Fibre Complete is high in fibre (19%) and low
in starch. It is ideal for feeding to natives
and good doers as well as horses and ponies
under a laminitic management programme. The
chunky nugget form means you can feed them from
the ground—the natural way to feed a horse.
Badminton Evenkeel
is a low starch, low energy balancer which provides
significant levels of vitamins, minerals and
essential amino acids to supplement and balance
a forage-based diet. It is also excellent for
natives and good doers. This economic balancer
offers true value for money in today’s
balancer market.
