Food for thought
Why not try one of our molassed or non-molassed fibre rich chaffs.

🧥 Feed Fact: Your Horse has an Internal Radiator!
Why is fibre better than a rug on a rainy day?
It's cold, it's wet, and the wind is picking up—time for another rug? Maybe, but don't forget to "fuel the fire" inside!

The Fact: Horses generate a significant amount of body heat through the fermentation of fibre in the hindgut. Unlike humans, who get a quick energy spike from sugar, a horse's "internal radiator" is powered by the slow breakdown of long-stem fibre (hay/haylage) and chopped fibre (chaff).

Why it matters today: On a rainy day, your horse uses more energy just to maintain their core temperature.
• Fibre = Heat: Digesting fibre produces heat as a byproduct. Feeding an extra slice of hay or a double helping of a fibre-rich chaff is like turning up the thermostat from the inside out!
• The Hydration Trap: Cold, rainy weather often makes horses reluctant to drink. Combining dry hay with low water intake is a recipe for impaction colic.

Top Tip for Today: Take the chill off! Use warm (not boiling) water to make a sloppy mash. Using mash is the ultimate winter hack—it provides the fibre they need for warmth while sneaking in extra hydration to keep the gut moving.
