High Fibre Pellets for Horses | Sainfoin Fibre Pellets

Sainfoin Fibre Pellets have been discontinued.

For the majority of horses Sainfoin Pellets are a suitable alternative - with many customers having already made the nutritional 'switch up' in preparation for the demands of winter.

For those with very good doers, metabolic issues or prone to laminitis, Lucie Fibre Cubes are an ideal replacement. A further alternative is to add PuraBeet to Sainfoin Pellets to reduce the calorie density in the feed bowl. Watch our video to learn more.

If you are unsure which product is best suited to your horse's requirements we recommend speaking with our friendly Feed Line experts on 01728 604 008. They will be on hand answer any questions you have, right through to creating a bespoke feed plan - catering to your horse's individual needs.

Feeding Instructions

As with any new feed, introduce gradually over a week.

Sainfoin Fibre Pellets are ideally fed soaked. Alternatively, mix with soaked PuraBeet or a Simple System chop and dampen well. For foals, greedy, elderly or dentally challenged horses, Sainfoin Fibre Pellets should be soaked.

Start with 100g per 100kg of bodyweight per day, increase as required up to a maximum of 5kg per day. For example, for a 500kg horse start with 500g per day (dry weight, before soaking) and increase as required.

Feed according to requirement & condition.

14 year old, Irish Cob, Sally, was overweight and contracted mild laminitis in February.

We started her on Simple System MetaSlim, as well as the Sainfoin Fibre Pellets twice a day. The amount of weight she has lost is unbelievable! She is feeling a lot better too! Would definitely recommend!
