Simple System Lucie Nuts — Premium Lucerne Nuts for All-Level Horses & Ponies

🍃 100% Dried Lucerne • 10-12 mm Nuts • High Calcium & Protein • Soak-Ready Soft Texture

Simple System Lucie Nuts are made from premium lucerne (alfalfa), compressed into 10-12 mm nuts, naturally high in calcium and protein to support muscles and bones. This feed is one of the brand’s most popular choices and suits a wide variety of horses and ponies across all levels of work — including older, metabolic-sensitive, or those needing condition support. 
It is 100% pure and free from binder additives, designed to be soaked before feeding to make a soft-texture chop that is ideal for horses with less chewing ability or who benefit from a more digestible format. 


Key Benefits

  • ✅ High-quality lucerne nuts: naturally rich in calcium and protein — supports muscle maintenance, bone health and condition. 

  • ✅ Ideal for all levels of work, from leisure to moderate performance, as well as for older/maintenance horses, metabolic profiles, or horses needing soft-feed formats. 

  • ✅ Designed for soaking: use 1 part Lucie Nuts to 2.5 parts water until free from lumps — provides a soft mash-like texture. 

  • ✅ Low sugar (<7%) and low starch (<5%) — suitable for horses with metabolic concerns or easily excited tummies. 

  • ✅ 100% dried lucerne, binder-free: giving you simplicity and peace of mind in your feeding plan.

🪣 Feeding & Usage Guide

  • Introduce gradually over one week when switching to or from this feed to avoid digestive upset. 

  • Soak using a ratio of 1 part Lucie Nuts : 2.5 parts water until free from lumps to produce a soft mash. 

  • Start with approx 100 g per 100 kg bodyweight per day (dry weight) and adjust based on condition; max up to 5 kg/day (dry weight) as required. Example: 500 kg horse ≈ 500 g/day. 

  • Particularly suitable for:

    • Older horses or those with dental issues needing an easy-chew feed

    • Horses needing a high-quality lucerne-based fibre feed

    • Horses with metabolic sensitivity who still need condition and muscle support

  • Always ensure fresh, clean water is available.

  • Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bag sealed when not in use.
