Omega Equine Seaweed & Rosehips – Natural Horse & Pony Supplement, 2kg

Omega Equine Seaweed & Rosehips – 2kg

Seaweed brings the minerals and rosehips bring the vitamin C, iron and biotin — a pairing British yards have fed for generations and Omega sell ready-mixed. The declared analysis reflects it: crude ash 16.6% and sodium 1.8% from the seaweed, with 8.6% crude fibre from the rosehips.

Omega feed 65g a day to a horse and 35g to a pony, a higher rate than their straight seaweed because the rosehips make up part of the blend. On that basis this 2kg tub covers roughly 30 days for a horse or 57 days for a pony.

Performance & Benefits

• Two natural ingredients only: seaweed and rosehips.
• Rosehips are naturally rich in iron, vitamin C and biotin.
• Seaweed supplies vitamins, minerals and trace elements from a marine source.
• Declared crude ash 16.6% and sodium 1.8%, reflecting the mineral content.
• Omega link the pairing to coat shine, hoof strength, immune function and joint health.
• Omega describe it as a delicious duo, and palatability is rarely the problem with it.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies needing everyday coat and hoof support.
• Horses on a forage-based diet wanting natural rather than synthetic minerals.
• Owners who would otherwise buy seaweed and rosehips separately.
• A month's feeding for a horse, or nearly two for a pony, in one tub.
• If you want the minerals without the rosehips, Omega Equine Seaweed is the straight product and lasts longer per kilogram.

Feeding

• At those rates this 2kg tub lasts approximately 30 days for a horse or 57 days for a pony.
• Introduce gradually when feeding for the first time.
• Mix into the daily feed with fresh drinking water always available.
• Do not exceed the published rate.

Care & Caution
