Equilibrium Vitamunch Marvellous Meadow 1kg

Equilibrium Vitamunch Marvellous Meadow – 1kg Fibre Block

Marvellous Meadow is the field-herb version of Vitamunch, with nettle at 0.3% and dandelion at 0.3% worked into a base of high-temperature dried timothy grass at 95%, alfalfa and salt. Nettle and dandelion are the plants horses pick out of a hedge line for themselves.

The analysis is identical to the hedgerow version — Equilibrium declare crude fibre at 30% and sugar at 9.5% for both — so the choice between the two comes down to which herbs your horse prefers rather than to nutrition. One block covers 50% of the published daily vitamin and trace element requirement for a 500kg horse in light work.
