SPILLERS Meadow Herb Horse Treats – 8 x 1kg Bulk Buy

Spillers Meadow Herb Treats – 8 x 1kg

Twelve herbs go into these — balm herb, mint, dandelion, marjoram, golden rod, nettle, parsley, sage, clover, garlic, oregano and rosemary — which gives them a green, savoury smell quite unlike a molassed apple or mint treat. Horses that have gone stale on sweet treats often take these when nothing else works.

This is the eight-kilo multi-buy. Each kilo is bagged separately, so the seven you are not using stay sealed rather than one open sack going soft. Spillers class them as a complementary feed alongside compound feed and forage, up to 200g a day.

Performance & Benefits

• Blend of twelve meadow herbs — balm herb, mint, dandelion, marjoram, golden rod, nettle, parsley, sage, clover, garlic, oregano and rosemary.
• Green, herbal flavour rather than a sweet one, useful on horses bored of the usual treats.
• Eight separately bagged kilos — better value per kilo, and the rest stay sealed.
• Bite-sized and firm, suited to hand-feeding and training.
• A complementary feed designed to sit alongside compound feed and forage.

Suitable For

• Yards and liveries treating several horses.
• Regular training and positive reinforcement work.
• Horses and ponies of all ages.
• Horses that have gone off sweeter treats.
• Not the treat for a laminitic or EMS pony — molasses is the third ingredient and Spillers publish no sugar figure. Baileys Tasty Treats declare 7% sugar if you need a number to work with.

Feeding

• Give one or two treats at a time.
• Spillers set a maximum of 200g a day as a complementary feed.
• Feed alongside compound feed and forage, not instead of them.
• Clean, fresh water at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: grass nuts, wheat, molasses, calcium carbonate, dried herbs, wheatfeed, rapeseed oil, dicalcium phosphate, salt, mint.
• 8 x 1kg. Spillers list the treat in 1kg and 3kg packs; this is a multi-buy of eight 1kg bags.
• Spillers publish no typical analysis for their treats, stating the ingredient list is not exhaustive and directing enquiries to their Care-Line. No protein, oil, fibre, starch or sugar figures are given here because none are published.
• The pack carries the BETA NOPS mark for reduced risk of naturally occurring prohibited substances.
