Equilibrium Crunchits Horse Treats – 750g

Equilibrium Crunchits Horse Treats – 750g

The small bag of Crunchits, at 750g. Same recipe as the larger pack: extruded wheat and maize for the crunch, flavoured with dried beetroot, turmeric, carrot, banana and parsnip, at 4% sugar and free from molasses — which is what makes them feedable to a pony that has to stay off sugar.

At this size the bag is really for two situations: finding out whether a fussy horse likes them before committing to the 2.25kg pack, and throwing in a lorry locker for shows without carrying a large tub around. Fed at the suggested rate a 500kg horse gets through 750g in a little under a fortnight.

Performance & Benefits

• Sugar held to 4%, and molasses free.
• A 750g bag — easy to carry to a show or keep in a lorry locker.
• Naturally flavoured with beetroot, parsnip, carrot and banana.
• Bite-sized and extruded for a crunch horses respond to.
• The right size for trying Crunchits before buying the 2.25kg pack.

Suitable For

• All horses and ponies as an occasional treat or training reward.
• Horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
• Horses on a low-calorie or low-sugar diet.
• For a horse fed treats every day, the 2.25kg pack works out considerably better.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat, dividing the daily amount into two or more servings.
• Around 20 Crunchits a day for a 250kg pony, 40 a day for a 500kg horse.
• Always ensure plenty of clean, fresh water is available.
• Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the bag after use.
