Fast Fibre is a quick-soaking feed suitable for horses and ponies at rest or in light work, particularly those prone to laminitis or struggling to chew.
This feed is high in fibre with only 7.5% combined starch and sugar, making it ideal for good doers who need a low-calorie option. It can also serve as a partial hay replacer. Fast Fibre soaks in just 60 seconds, providing a convenient and palatable mash.
It includes added vitamins and minerals, such as zinc and copper, to balance UK forage. Prebiotics are incorporated for healthy digestion, and linseed provides a good source of Omega 3. This product is suitable for horses with intolerances to barley, alfalfa, and/or molasses.

Important Feeding Instructions:
DO NOT FEED DRY – THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS UNMOLASSED SUGAR BEET AND MUST BE SOAKED FOR AT LEAST 60 SECONDS BEFORE FEEDING. Introduce a new feed gradually over 7 to 10 days. Place feed in a shallow bucket, add twice as much water as feed, then stir. Wait at least 60 seconds before feeding. Unmolassed chaff can be added after soaking; stir well before feeding. This feed is made from natural ingredients, so it may change colour slightly or take longer to soak. If the feed is not soaking quickly enough, leave to soak for longer, or soak in warm water, then stir until it forms a soft mash. To get the best results from Fast Fibre, ensure you do not feed any other products that contain barley or molasses. Do not feed to sheep. Do not feed more than 2kg dry weight per meal.
