All products are natural and seasonal variations can occur, the packaging of each product will detail the typical analysis which is relevant to the batch/cut within the bag. Below are this product’s specification ranges to give an indication of the seasonal variations that can occur for this product.
We do not add vitamins as the forages themselves have them naturally occurring, often in their precursor form, so the packaging of each forage product details average vitamin & mineral figures produced by the British Association of Green Crop Driers to give an indication of the levels found within Lucerne or Grass. However, Simple System undertakes mineral analysis every two years or when/if the source of the product is changed. Below are the most up to date figures specific to this product.
Pulpits Farm have been loyal customers of Simple System for over 20 years.
We have been thoroughly pleased with the products & service offered to us over the years and have found Simple System Horse Feeds to be perfect for the wide range of different breeds we have here; including Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Highlands and other Native breeds (many of whom live out 24/7).
We are very keen to promote natural feeding of our native Highlands as they are not built to cope with rich higher sugar diets that you see in many other feeds. We also needed a straightforward and economical diet that could be used for our mares, stallions, foals and youngstock that would promote muscle development and bone growth without adding excess fat or fizz. With Simple System we have found exactly that.
I called Simple System Horse Feeds at the beginning of the season for some advice on a flagging pony. It didn’t seem to matter how fit Quinn was; he would lose his spice after one class or one phase.
They advised to Target Feed, so now he gets an energy boost right before each phase. What a difference it has made!
I wouldn’t be shy about calling them again in the future for any further feeding advice!
Since feeding Simple System Horse Feeds I have not struggled to keep Ami looking and feeling good throughout the winter, without her getting too spicy or sensitive. I now won't feed anything else!
Ami is fed Lucie Nuts, Blue Bag Grass Pellets and Build & Shine.
My mare Blaze has been fed on Simple Systems for the last few years and the change in her behaviour is fantastic! She's gone from being a very opinionated mare to a calm, obedient and trustworthy one - but still with a bit of spice.

What metabolic horses will all have in common is that they need stricter management than your average horse, often with careful consideration of their sugar and starch intake.
Super fibre is in younger plant material, such as green forages. This will normally be available as a pelleted feed, because the fibre lacks strength and falls apart if dried in the same way as, say, hay.
Headshaking in horses is a distressing condition, which is typified by a sudden head movement in a vertical plane rather than what we would normally consider a shake of the head, is due to pain in the trigeminal nerve of the face.
