Meadow Forage Pellets

An important update about Meadow Forage Pellets...

10 February 2025

Since their launch in May 2024, the popularity of Meadow Forage Pellets has exceeded our expectations. As such, we expect upcoming shortages until our new crop is harvested in late summer.

Whilst we will have temporary shortages of Meadow Forage Pellets, we wish to reassure customers that, in partnership with our growers, we have invested heavily in this product for future years. Not only are Meadow Forage Pellets a great feed for horses, the hectares of land that are now dedicated to this unique blend of forages, are helping to support biodiversity and sustainable UK farming. 

For most horses Sainfoin Pellets will be an appropriate alternative. Sainfoin being a key ingredient in Meadow Forage Pellets, and an ideal forage for hindgut support.

Providing a variety of forages to support the gut microbiome is beneficial to our horses. To increase diversity in the diet, we suggest feeding different forage types for your pellet, chop and balancer. An example Feed Plan suitable for most horses would be: Sainfoin Pellets (sainfoin), Perform & Shine (Cocksfoot and Timothy grass) and Simple Balance + (lucerne). For those requiring a condition boost, TopGain can be added to increase calorie density. For older horses those with diastemas, or poor dentition, substitute Perform & Shine with Blue Bag Grass Pellets.

If you are unsure about feeding an alternative to Meadow Forage Pellets, we recommend speaking with our friendly Feed Line experts. They will be on hand to answer any questions you have, right through to creating a bespoke Feed Plan -  catering to your horse's individual needs.

When should I wean my foal?

Although it is traditional to wean at 6 months, this is actually too early. The foal’s important gut microbes are not fully up and running until the foal is 7.5 months old.
