Simple System Perform & Shine – 15kg Grass Chop with Cold-Pressed Linseed Oil

Simple System Perform & Shine – 15kg

Perform & Shine is a chop of Cocksfoot and Timothy — two grasses Simple System grow in preference to ryegrass — coated with fresh cold-pressed linseed oil. The oil takes crude fat to 5–7% and supplies energy as fat rather than as starch, which is declared under 2%. That is why it can put condition and stamina on a horse without making it sharp.

It is dust-free and, being a chop rather than a pellet, it takes proper chewing. The one figure to read carefully is sugar, declared at 7–15%: higher than Simple System's lucerne chops and much higher than the Brix, because grass cut for condition carries its sugar with it. For a poor doer in medium to hard work that is exactly the point; for a laminitic it is not.
