Simple System Sainfoin & Shine – 18kg Sainfoin Chop with Linseed Oil

Simple System Sainfoin & Shine – 18kg

Sainfoin & Shine takes chopped sainfoin — the ancient forage legume Simple System grow as an alternative to grass and lucerne — and coats it with fresh cold-pressed linseed oil. The result is quality protein and highly digestible fibre carrying essential Omega 3, in a chop that takes real chewing.

Sainfoin offers something distinctive here: its condensed tannins support the hindgut in a way grass and lucerne don't, aiding protein digestion across the whole ration. Combined with the oil, it suits horses in work that need condition and coat without a starch load.
