Harvested from perennial meadows in the foothills of the Bavarian Pre-Alps, Natural Meadow Cobs contain an appetising blend of up to 60 different species of naturally-occurring meadow grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. High in fibre, low in sugars, starch, and calories — with nothing added and nothing taken away — they are the next best thing to fresh grass.

Key Benefits

• Up to 60 species of meadow grasses, wildflowers & herbs — natural variety for palate and gut microbiome
• Nothing added, nothing taken away — no added vitamins or minerals, so they won’t disrupt an existing balanced diet
• High structural fibre (30%) — supports healthy gut function and can replace hay, haylage, or grass
• Molasses-, grain- & alfalfa-free — only low levels of naturally occurring sugars
• Quick-soaking — soak to release aromas and create a soft feed for dentally challenged horses
• Sustainably produced — dried in a facility powered by renewable biomass-fuelled electricity
• Suitable for virtually all horses — good-doers, poor-doers, veterans, fussy feeders, stabled horses, and performance horses

How to Feed

Soak in water before feeding — warm water releases more aroma and speeds soaking. Feed alongside an existing balanced diet as an additional fibre source, partial forage replacer, or base for a low-calorie balancer. Can be used as a full or partial hay/haylage replacer.

FAQ

Can they replace hay or haylage?

Yes — Natural Meadow Cobs can be used as a full or partial forage replacement. Their high structural fibre content (30%) supports gut function in the same way as long-stem forage. Soak well before feeding as a forage replacer.

Are they suitable for laminitic horses?

Yes — Natural Meadow Cobs are low in sugar, starch, and calories, making them suitable for many horses with special dietary requirements including those prone to laminitis. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

Are they suitable for horses with poor teeth?

Yes — the grasses are coarsely chopped and soften easily when soaked, making them ideal for dentally challenged horses that struggle with long-stem forage.

Do they contain added vitamins and minerals?

No — Natural Meadow Cobs contain no added vitamins or minerals, so they can be fed alongside any existing balanced diet without causing nutritional imbalances.

Can I feed them to a good-doer?

Yes — with a calorie content (DE = 6MJ/kg) lower than many forages, Natural Meadow Cobs are suitable for good-doers as a fibre source or as a base to which a low-calorie balancer can be added.
