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.


🪣 Feeding & Usage Guide

Suitable for:

  • Horses and ponies of all ages needing an easily chewed, highly digestible fibre source

  • Senior horses with reduced chewing ability

  • Horses needing a hay replacer due to poor forage intake

  • Performance horses or those with respiratory considerations

Feeding Notes:

  • Feed in bucket or tub; if using as a hay replacer, offer in quantities similar to hay weight.

  • Soaking is optional but can be helpful for further ease of chewing.

  • Always provide fresh, clean water at all times.

  • Introduce feed gradually to avoid digestive upset if switching from long-stem forage.

  • Adjust feeding rates according to bodyweight, workload, and condition.

• Ponies or horses that struggle to chew long-stem forage
• Good-doers requiring controlled energy intake
