Grain-free feeding

Natural feeding without grains, with structure, calm and vitality as its foundation.

Not every horse thrives on grains. In fact, for hardy breeds, horses with metabolic problems, or animals sensitive to sugars and starches, a grain-free diet can make a world of difference. With the right choices, your horse will receive a nutritious, varied, and natural diet that meets their needs.

Why choose grain-free?

Grains often contain relatively high levels of starch and sugars. In sensitive horses, this can lead to overweight, digestive problems, or behavioral changes.

Tip: you can offer flaxseed in higher doses, cooked into a porridge, as a sand cure. You can read more about it in this blog.

Hempseed: omega fatty acids

Hempseed contains all essential amino acids, high-quality protein, and a particularly favorable ratio of omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids. It is easily digestible and also contains zinc, magnesium, and vitamin E.

How to add seeds and kernels to the menu?

Give a handful as a treat, mix with feed, or combine into a varied mix. Start with a small amount and gradually increase.

Guideline: 20–50 grams per day per type of seed for an average horse (500 kg), depending on need.

Tips for grain-free feeding

  • Always introduce new feeds gradually.
  • Up to a handful, the grain-free pellets can be given unwetted as a "treat." For larger quantities, soak them first. This goes faster in lukewarm water.
  • Preferably feed in several small portions per day for stable absorption.
  • Combine with good roughage and sufficient exercise for optimal effect.
