FAQ

Is it suitable for good doers?

Traditional Blend is a maintenance feed for horses in light to moderate work. For good doers on strict calorie restriction, the Heygates Equi Balancer Pellets or Heygates Horse & Pony Nuts may be more appropriate options.

Why does it use cooked flaked cereals?

Cooking and flaking cereals breaks down the starch structure, making them significantly more digestible than raw cereals. This improves nutrient absorption and reduces the risk of undigested starch reaching the hindgut.

Do I need to feed a balancer alongside it?

Heygates Traditional Blend is 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 Horse & Pony Conditioning Mix?

Traditional Blend is a maintenance feed for horses in light to moderate work. The Conditioning Mix is specifically formulated to support weight gain and improved body condition in horses that need extra calories.
