Dengie Hi-Fi Senior — Highly Digestible Fibre Feed for Senior & Easy-Chew Needs
🍃 Easy-to-Chew • Highly Digestible • Hay Replacer for Older Horses & Ponies
Dengie Hi-Fi Senior is an easy-to-chew, highly digestible fibre feed crafted from a blend of soft grass and nutrient-rich alfalfa with a light molasses and rapeseed oil coating. Designed specifically for horses and ponies — particularly those with poor dentition — it offers a practical, forage-based alternative to traditional long-stem hay.
✅ Key Benefits
✅ Easy-to-chew, highly digestible fibre — ideal for horses and ponies that struggle with long-stem forage such as hay or haylage.
✅ Blend of soft grass & alfalfa — provides gentle energy and fibre while supporting chewing comfort and digestive health.
✅ Light molasses and rapeseed oil coating — enhances palatability and contributes to a glossy coat.
✅ Straw-free formulation — suitable for performance horses and those sensitive to dust or respiratory issues.
✅ Can be used as a partial or complete hay replacer — energy level comparable to good quality hay, beneficial for older, easy-keeper or chewing-challenged equines.

🧾 Composition & Features
Dengie Hi-Fi Senior is made from a short-chopped blend of soft grass and nutrient-rich alfalfa that has been dried to preserve natural goodness. The light molasses and rapeseed oil coating improves taste and encourages intake, especially in more selective eaters.
This product’s straw-free formulation and digestible texture make it especially appropriate for older horses, those with dental wear, or any equine that finds longer forage difficult to manage.
