🍽️ How Hard Is Your Horse Working?

Workload influences the quantity and type of feed. Good quality fibre sources like Alfa-A Original can meet the energy needs of most horses and ponies in light to medium work. Add a balancer or vitamin/mineral supplement to complete the diet.

Always adjust rations to temperament, condition, and workload

How to Get the Most from Alfa-A Original

Feed on its own or combine with cubes/mix for higher energy needs. If feeding as the sole bucket feed, include a broad-spectrum balancer or supplement. Ideal as a palatable fibre base when transitioning off sweeter mixes/cubes.
