& Choose HorseHage
A Partnership You Can Rely On!
Are you struggling to find good quality hay or haylage this winter? The wet summer affected many harvests and so there is likely to be more bad quality hay around than good this year.
Recurrent Airway Obstruction or RAO, previously known as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) which affects many horses and ponies, has much in common with human asthma. It is thought to be an allergic condition that is worsened by trigger factors such as pollen, dust and mould, which can be found in poor quality forage.
A Warmer Winter with Speedi-Beet
Speedi-Beet from British Horse Feeds is a unique sugar beet feed which can be soaked in hot water and ready to feed in just ten minutes.
Many horses lose condition over the winter months. Speedi-Beet will help horses to regain condition without the need to over feed concentrates, which can result in an over exuberant horse.
It is unmolassed 95% sugar free and therefore less likely to cause excitable behaviour in some horses. The low starch and sugar content also gives Speedi-Beet approval from the Laminitis Trust.
Speedi-Beet provides calories by providing highly fermentable soluble fibre, namely pectin. This soluble fibre is fermented by the micro-organisms living in the horse’s hindgut where it is turned into energy and condition.
It can also increase the nutrient value of the hay being fed. It is through this that Speedi-Beet increases the general fermentation activity of the intestinal microbial population, with an overall increase in the efficiency of fibre digestion, again increasing the energy supply.
Available in 20kg bags, Speedi-Beet has a RRP of around £9.90.

The severity can range from no symptoms (except for changes evident on endoscopic examination) through varying degrees from a single cough to nasal discharge, reduced exercise tolerance and in severe cases, an inability to work.
Always choose a forage you can rely on, such as HorseHage dust-free bagged forage, as prevention is always better than cure, even with those who show no sign of RAO.
HorseHage is made from selected grasses and is available in four varieties – Ryegrass, High Fibre, Timothy and Alfalfa, offering a choice to suit all horses and ponies, including laminitics.
It contains no chemical additives or mould inhibitors, and comes with a 100% quality guarantee. It is the only forage on the market to have NOPS FEMAS certification which means that all the ingredients are fully traceable and has been manufactured under the highest industry standards.
HorseHage is high in naturally occurring antioxidants and these play a positive role in supporting lung health. Horses prone to RAO have been scientifically proven to show improved lung function and reduced airway inflammation following supplementation. Horses suffering from RAO should be fed HorseHage from the floor to allow free drainage of the respiratory tract.
