Equiblox Original – 12kg, 100% Natural Forage Blocks

Equiblox Original – 12kg

An even split of alfalfa and dust-extracted hay, dried, pressed and cut into 1kg blocks, twelve to the bag. The alfalfa is cut fresh from the field and pressed quickly, which is what holds the colour, the smell and the palatability — a horse that turns its nose up at ordinary chaff will usually take this.

Half alfalfa gives it more protein and calcium than a straight hay product, without becoming the high-protein feed a pure alfalfa is. There is no molasses and nothing artificial, and it is non-heating, so it can go to a horse in work without making it sharp. Blocks can be soaked for an older horse that cannot manage solid forage.

Performance & Benefits

• 50% alfalfa and 50% dust-extracted hay, compressed into 1kg blocks.
• Naturally low in sugar, with no added molasses or artificial additives.
• Non-heating, for calm and consistent behaviour.
• Fresh-cut alfalfa keeps it palatable for fussy feeders.
• Extended chewing supports healthy teeth and gums.
• Can be soaked for older horses or those that struggle with solid forage.

Suitable For
