There are many benefits to a forage based diet and our customer and her horse, Finn, experienced this firsthand.
Finn is a young, off the track thoroughbred who has struggled with maintaining his weight over the years. His owner was always an advocate for beet pulp and soaked pellets, but fed them mainly as a supplement. Once his owner realized his grain wasn’t doing the trick, she scaled back and started mainly feeding him alfalfa pellets to transition him to a forage based diet.
“The alfalfa pellets from Jamback Farms are such high quality and soak really well, so it made it easy for me to want to keep purchasing them when I moved him to a new farm later that year,” said Finn’s owner.
Within a few weeks, she saw a huge improvement in his weight and overall health. “Finn struggled with hoof health and abscesses in the past and I truly believe moving him to a more forage based diet has helped him immensely. He is now barefoot and has kept a good healthy weight a year and a half later!”
In addition to the alfalfa pellets, Finn is also fed the Western Alfalfa and Orchardgrass Hay.
