Simple System Lucie Brix – 20kg
Brix are 100% straight forage compressed into 1kg blocks, and the idea behind them is simple: put them on the floor and a horse eats them the way it would graze — head down, working at it, taking its time. Lucie Brix are pure lucerne, so they bring the protein and calcium of the lucerne range in a format that occupies a horse rather than disappearing in ninety seconds.
They work three ways. As an occasional treat, as the daily portion of chop, or as enrichment — which is where they earn their keep, because a stabled horse on box rest or a horse away at a competition will work at a Brix for a long time.
