🥣 Serving & Feeding Guidance
  • Soak before feeding for horses with poor dentition or those prone to bolting feed. General guide: 3–5 parts water to 1 part cobs by weight. Ensure the cobs are fully softened.
  • Soak time: Allow sufficient time for complete softening (longer than a mash). Break up any remaining firm centres before serving.
  • Daily amount: Adjust to bodyweight, condition & workload. Use as a partial hay replacer or fibre booster with ad-lib forage.
  • Mix & match: Combine with a balancer if not feeding a fortified compound at the recommended rate.
  • Hydration: A sloppy soak supports fluid intake post-exercise, travel or in hot weather.
  • Introduce gradually over 4–7 days. Always provide fresh, clean water.

 

❓ FAQs

Do Meadow Cobs need to be soaked?
We recommend soaking for most horses, especially fussy eaters, veterans or those prone to choke. Ensure cobs are fully softened before feeding.

Can they replace hay?
They can be used as a partial forage replacer when grazing or hay/haylage is limited or poor quality. Maintain ad-lib fibre where possible.

Are they heating?
No — they provide fibre-based, steady energy rather than sharp cereal calories.

Suitable for good-doers?
Yes — adjust quantity to maintain ideal condition and pair with a low-calorie balancer if using only token amounts.

Can I mix supplements into them?
Yes — the soaked mash is an excellent carrier for balancers and powdered supplements.
