The chop length is the whole reason the product exists: diastema, the gaps that open between an old horse's molars, trap long-stem forage and cause painful periodontal disease, and a short, soft chop is far less likely to pack into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also asks very little of teeth that are worn down or missing. Fed dry it behaves like a normal forage block and lets a horse forage naturally; soaked in around five litres of water a block breaks into a wet chop that a horse with almost no grinding surface left can still manage. Nothing is added — no molasses, no coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinely chopped soft timothy hay, easy to digest and needing minimal chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chop reduces the risk of forage packing into gappy teeth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally low in sugar, with no added molasses or additives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressed 1kg blocks store at home and travel to shows or livery easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed dry from the bag, or soak to make a soft, hydrating wet chop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfalfa-free, for a veteran that does not tolerate alfalfa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVeteran horses and ponies needing an easy-to-digest forage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with diastema or other dental problems that struggle with long-stem hay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSenior horses needing a gentle, low-sugar forage as part of a balanced diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that need to avoid alfalfa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow in calories by design.
