Each Simple Promise supplement must pass 7 tests. Supplements must have scientific evidence, validated dosages, and natural ingredients, among other requirements. Because Red Bag Grass Pellets are a forage feed, digested in the same way as grass, it's perfectly safe to let him eat them right until the moment you get on. When the horse or pony is able to resume work, and additional feeding is required, use only Simple System Ltd feeds free from all additives, preservatives, cereals, pulses and molasses.

Instead of using starchy grain feeds, pulses, processed feeds and by products from the human food industry, we can use forages, which is what the horse evolved to eat. These will take longer to eat and be more satisfying; Simple Promise also cites this study on green tea published in Chinese Medicine. Green tea has been used for centuries for health and wellness effects. In that study, researchers analyzed evidence on green tea and found it had potential use for cancer, heart disease, and liver disease, among other effects. Researchers praised green tea for containing high levels of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the compound linked to most benefits of green tea. It is far more pertinent to worry about sugar levels in grass. High sugar levels cause obesity, laminitis, ulcers, colic, behavioural problems, Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), tying up and more. None of these conditions is triggered by high protein from forages. The highly digestible, but poorer quality, protein of cereals and pulses is accompanied by high levels of starch, making these feeds even less appropriate for very many horses. I haven't used them, but wouldn't as my horses don't like Alfalfa. If you want to look at other alternatives for a sugar and cereal free diet, you could feed a good vitamin and mineral supplement (I used Equimins Advance Complete Concentrate which doesn't have any fillers in it and has a high specification) plus micronized linseed and/or Coolstance Copra. I use grass chaff and speedibeet/fibrebeet (only half a scoop each) to mix in, you could use Hi Fi Molasses free instead of the grass chaff to avoid the sugar in that.

Why is MetaSlim high in protein?

In the feed bowl, soaked LucieNuts are ideal, being naturally low in sugar. Add Total Eclipse balancer, or Flexi-Balance if you feel joints need additional support. Metabolically challenged horses or ponies may be better with MetaSlim. Soaked PuraBeet will give additional bulk and hydration. LucieFibre Cubes can be used instead of LucieNuts if the horse (or pony) is getting too heavy. If they are poor and not a candidate for laminitis, Red Bag Grass Pellets instead of Blue Bag Grass Pellets;

From 26th of April to 17th May on MetaSlim and PuraBeet Mabel lost 20kg, 3cm from her girth and stopped itching.” Ideally, ragwort should be removed before it flowers, but if this is not possible, use a facemask to avoid inhaling the pollen. My horse is prone to tying up and I have been told to give her a high oil diet but she is not keen on her feed when there is vegetable oil in it. Any ideas? The plant is harmful to humans too, so wear protective gloves and cover your arms and legs when handling it. Sugar Support Blend: Meta Slim Complete claims to use several ingredients in its 1,325mg Sugar Support Blend to support your body’s digestion of sugar. Key ingredients in the blend include Gymnema Sylvestre leaf extract (150mg), green tea extract (150mg), green coffee bean extract (250mg), Garcinia cambogia extract (100mg), bitter melon extract (75mg), and DIM (100mg). DIM, as mentioned above, purportedly affects your estrogen levels by targeting two types of estrogen in your body. The other ingredients in this blend are common to all diet pills, with ingredients like green tea extract prized for their high levels of EGCG. Green coffee bean extract is also rich with chlorogenic acid, which has been linked to weight loss in multiple studies.

Natural grazing is actually more wild flowers than grass and is very varied, so meadow hay will be more acceptable than single-species hay; Making the most of forage type feeds helps. Increase the Simple System Ltd feeds and the horse will need less hay. Lower feed value feeds are:

Introduce feeds gradually over a period of 1-2 weeks, initially mixing a small amount of Simple System with your horse's old feed and gradually increasing the amount of Simple System. Horses may take longer to get used to Traditional Brewer's Yeast, found in Total Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse, as this has a particularly strong taste! My livery yard is strict on the horse's hay rations and I am worried that my horse is going for long periods of time without eating. Is this a problem? A small feed directly before work will encourage the horse to work better as he will not be so hungry and lining the stomach with forage will make it more comfortable and protect against ulcers. While he is very fat, make this as low calorie as possible – LucieFibre Cubes are good. Dampen well or ideally soak in water. These low calorie pellets can also be offered in a feeding ball which will encourage the horse to exercise as he eats.A: As horses get older, their teeth gradually wear down and as the crowns are worn, the teeth gradually grow through the jaw so the roots get smaller and smaller. In their 20s, they may start getting gaps between the teeth which can trap food. As the roots get smaller, so the teeth are less strongly fixed in the jaw and may start wobbling, which can make long hours of grinding forage a bit tiresome. Most horses by the age of 30 will be losing teeth and in the wild, if they have lasted this long, this will cause their demise as they can no longer eat enough to sustain their lives. The answer is to provide the feed they need, and importantly, the forage, in a form they can eat easily. Chops and chaffs may help for a very short while, but these still need chewing. The answer is to soak pelleted forages. You will need to feed a lot once the teeth have become pretty much useless, so aim to feed anything up to 2% of the horse’s correct body weight, in dry weight of these feeds, before any soaking. Most horses are fine with equal amounts of: When feeding a horse with liver damage it is important that you feed to the horse’s condition. To maintain and build muscle and topline use LucieNuts or LuciePellets. For a good doer these can be switched to LucieFibreCubes or Blue Bag Grass Pellets. PuraBeet is a great source of fibre and easily digested. Even in work ensure that the horse never goes longer than two hours without eating, preventing highs and lows within the digestion which could adversely affect the liver. If more energy is required, Red Bag Grass Pellets can be used. If dental issues are the cause of the problem, offering soaked forage pellets instead of hay or haylage will make a big difference, using the same dry weight of feed. A tub of soaked feed is offered instead of the usual ration of hay. Suitable feeds are: LucieNuts, Blue Bag Grass Pellets, PuraBeet, Lucie Fibre Cubes.
