The grass comes off more than a thousand acres of biodiverse, mixed-species organic meadow, warm-air dried, dust-extracted, ground and compressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey come out at 10mm rather than the 8mm of the standard nuts, with 8.6% crude protein, 31% crude fibre and 6.9 MJ\/kg. Very low sugar, very high fibre, very low energy — which makes them the ones to reach for when a horse's diet has to be kept tight and the forage still has to last through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% dried organic meadow grasses and herbage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar 2.1% and starch 0.9% — the lowest figures of any forage Thunderbrook publish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31% crude fibre at just 6.9 MJ\/kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodiverse, mixed-species organic meadows across more than a thousand acres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm-air dried and dust-extracted before grinding and compressing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10mm nuts, which soak down readily into a mash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies whose sugar and starch intake has to be kept as low as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial forage replacement, or a low-energy bucket feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForage balls and enrichment for stabled horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners feeding organic where they can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a source of condition — a horse that needs to put weight on wants Thunderbrook Gentle Gain, not more nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 500kg horse in light work: about 0.5kg a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 500kg horse in medium to hard work: 2.5–5kg a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 500ml cup holds roughly 340g, which is the easiest way to measure them out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed dry or soaked, splitting larger amounts across the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually, with fresh water always available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 100% dried organic meadow grasses and herbage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbrook's analysis: crude protein 8.6%, crude fibre 31%, crude ash 7.9%, crude fat 1.8%, sodium 0.14%, sugar 2.1%, starch 0.9%, DE 6.9 MJ\/kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm-air dried, dust-extracted, ground and compressed into 10mm nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20kg bag.
