It’s Christmas and time to think seriously about presents! And your horse or pony won’t want to be forgotten, but rather than filling him up on sugary stuff that does him no good, we have the perfect gift for him: Lucie®Mints! These scrummy nuts are made only from pure herbal ingredients and no fillers or binders. Herbal peppermint is combined with the best English lucerne to make healthy but totally appetising snack or treat. You can use Lucie®Mints as a reward for being caught or coming in or just because you love your horse! Lucie®Mints are brilliant for clicker training and other systems of training where you want a tasty treat for positive reinforcement. Put a few Lucie®Mints in a feeding ball with your usual Blue Bag Grass Pellets or Lucie®Pellets for an extra yummy hit every now and then.
Lucie®Mints are the perfect alternative to molassed treats, biscuit treats or even that well-known brand of mint with a hole in it! They come as a compact pellet that will not readily break up in your pocket.
Add a few Lucie®Mints to your horse’s feed to encourage him to eat up or use them to disguise the taste of medicines.
Pack sizes of Lucie®Mints:500g in a smart little re-sealable mini bucket, ideal for one horse or pony and an ideal present: £4.002 kg pack, ideal for several horses or serious treaters: £11.1010 kg Super-size pack for industrial grade treating: £46.50.

''Feed the mare to feed the foal'' - wise words from many an experienced breeder. With little grass due to the dry weather, grazing can be topped up in the feed bowl.
