FAQ

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Horse & Pony Nuts are a non-heating, high-fibre feed. Always check the full nutritional analysis on the label and consult your vet before feeding to horses with laminitis or other metabolic conditions. For horses on strict calorie restriction, the Heygates Equi Balancer Pellets may be more appropriate.

Can I soak them?

Yes — the nuts can be soaked to create a mash, which is useful for horses with dental issues or those that need extra hydration in their feed.

Do I need to feed a balancer alongside it?

Heygates Horse & Pony Nuts are fortified with vitamins and minerals. If fed at the recommended rate, a separate balancer is not required. Check with a nutritionist if feeding below the recommended rate.

How does it differ from Heygates Traditional Blend Coarse Mix?

Horse & Pony Nuts are a pelleted nut feed, while Traditional Blend is a muesli-style coarse mix. Both are suitable for horses in light to moderate work — choose based on your horse’s preference.
