From the inside out - Part II

'Mr F's new feed from 'Thunderbrook Equestrian' has arrived just over a week ago. I was expecting some big bags as we usually get when buying comercial feeds.  Not so.

The delivery consisted of a 20kg of 'Base Mix' in finely ground form and a bag with Calendula (marigold) flowers to support healthy skin with the aim to help with the recovery and improvement of his skin.

I smiled because what was in front of me looked like a bag of cooking spice with some potpourri!

Upon reading the feeding guidelines I went to portion up his new feed so I would not need to fiddle with the weighing scales each time.

'Mr F's new feed - packed into individual feed portions.

'Mr F' has been on this now for nearly two weeks and the one thing I have noticed is that his droppings look very healthy. While on his own feed he would have a lot of scouring before the actual droppings appear. Now it is just a clean, straight forward 'business' in small spherical shapes. And this without balancer.





'Thunderbrook' do offer balancer depending on the horses' needs, aiding with cushings / laminitis / performance energizing / allergEase / Calmer.

The calming balancer won't be required with 'base mix'. I am considering getting 'Mr F' the AllergEase balancer to help with his respiratory system and skin. 

The scent when mixing up his feed is pleasant and natural. Hopefully I will see some improvement in his hooves, too, eventually. 

So far so good!
