Grain-free feeding

Not every horse thrives on grains. In fact, for easy-keeping breeds, horses with metabolic issues, or animals sensitive to sugars and starch, a grain-free diet can make a world of difference. With the right choices, your horse receives a nutritious, varied, and natural ration that meets its specific needs.

Why choose grain-free?

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

Seeds & kernels for your horse

Small powerhouses with a big impact

Seeds and kernels are a wonderful natural addition to your horse's diet. They are packed with healthy substances such as essential fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and antioxidants, all in their purest form. Perfect for those who like to vary the diet and provide targeted support during certain times of the year.

Flaxseed: mucilage

Old-fashioned but always effective and nutritious. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, mucilage, and easily absorbable proteins. It supports a shiny coat, calm bowel function, and has a soothing effect on the stomach and mucous membranes.
Ideal in autumn and winter, when the skin and coat can use extra support.

Tip: you can offer flaxseed in higher dosages, boiled into a porridge, as a sand cleanse. You can read more about it in this blog.

Hemp seed: omega fatty acids

Hemp seed contains all essential amino acids, plenty of 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.
Very suitable for recovery after illness or training, young horses in development, or older horses that could use some extra strength.

Pumpkin seeds: healthy nutrients

These organic pumpkin seeds are not only nutritious but also surprisingly tasty for your horse. They are packed with healthy nutrients: rich in unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants. With an impressive mix of minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, and iron, they provide broad support for the entire system.

The dark green seeds have a soft texture and are therefore easily digestible, even for easy-keeping or sensitive horses. They contribute to vitality, a shiny coat, and a strong immune system. Helps keep the body in balance, even during seasonal challenges.

Sunflower seeds: source of vitamin E and B

Sunflower seeds are not only tasty but also particularly nutritious. These organic seeds are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals. In addition, they contain vitamin B6, which contributes to normal energy metabolism and proper functioning of the nervous system.

They contain selenium, magnesium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, iron, and zinc—all minerals with their own contribution to important processes in the body.

How to add kernels and seeds to the menu?

Give a handful as a treat, mix into the feed, or blend into a variety mix. Start with a small amount and build up slowly.

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

Tips for grain-free feeding

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