It is built as a partial or full hay replacer for horses that can no longer manage long fibre — worn or missing teeth, quidding, or a dust sensitivity that makes hay a problem — and it holds a lot of water, which helps daily intake in a horse that drinks poorly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSugar is genuinely low at 2.5%. Starch, at 8.5%, is the highest of any fibre feed in the Pure range, and because this is fed at up to 1kg per 100kg of bodyweight the daily starch load is far larger than the percentage alone suggests — a 500kg horse on the full rate takes in around 425g of starch a day. Read the Care \u0026amp; Caution section before feeding it to a laminitic or EMS horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoaks in around five minutes into a soft, easy-to-chew mash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23% fibre, usable as a partial or complete replacement for hay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds a large volume of water, increasing daily fluid intake in poor drinkers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally occurring sugar of just 2.5%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed herbs and peppermint oil make it palatable to fussy and older horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from molasses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder horses with worn, missing or painful teeth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that quid long fibre or have stopped managing hay altogether.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust-sensitive horses needing a low-dust forage source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on box rest, travelling, or with limited grazing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminitic and EMS horses only with care — at 8.5% starch and a high feeding rate this is not the low-starch option in the range.

For a laminitic, EMS or PPID horse, check the daily starch total against your vet's advice rather than relying on the percentage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure's published composition for this feed lists no added vitamins and minerals, unlike the rest of the range. Used as a full hay replacer it needs a balancer alongside it — Pure Balance is the matching product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever feed it dry. It is designed to be soaked, and a micro-pellet fed dry to a horse with poor dentition is a choke risk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pure Feed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41372205318208,"sku":"vsn1789536286980","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/4091\/9616\/files\/pure-meadow-mash-15kg-fast-soaking-hay-replacement-for-horses-ponies_1.webp?v=1789536293","url":"https:\/\/heritagefashionclad.shop\/products\/pure-meadow-mash-15kg-fast-soaking-hay-replacement-for-horses-ponies","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
