Why use our Equine Insight Slow Feeder Hay Nets

Slow feeder hay nets improve a horse's digestive health, reduce forage waste by up to 46%–50%, and prevent boredom by mimicking natural grazing.

Health Benefits
Protects the stomach: Continuous chewing produces saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid and helps prevent gastric ulcers.
Lowers colic risk: Providing a steady trickle of forage prevents the dangerous "gorge and starve" cycle.
Manages weight: Slowing down intake helps easy keepers maintain a healthy weight and stabilizes glucose and insulin levels.

Behavioral Benefits
Reduces boredom: Keeps horses occupied longer, decreasing stress and aggression around feeding times.
Stops bad habits: Lowers the risk of stable vices like cribbing, weaving, and wood chewing.

The Equine Insight SS Tie Ring is designed to allow a horse to pull a small amount of slack in the lead rope if it panics or loses its balance.

That slack releases pressure—and with it, the trigger for the panic.

For best results, we recommend mounting the Tie Ring at or above shoulder height where possible.

The Equine Insight SS Tie Ring is versatile and practical. It can be used anywhere a horse needs to be tied:
Inside or outside a truck or horsebox
With cross ties
In the stable
At the wash bay
On long-distance rides
The Tie Ring is compatible with most Natural Horsemanship 12ft lead ropes.

LUCERNE CHAFF

If there's one chaff that earns its place in the feed room, it's lucerne, but it's also one of the most misunderstood.

Lucerne (known as alfalfa outside South Africa) is a legume rather than a grass, which means its nutritional profile looks quite different to that of cereal or grass chaff. It is significantly higher in protein, calcium and digestible energy than oaten or wheaten chaff, and lower in sugar and starch.

🌾 What makes lucerne particularly valuable:
→ The high calcium content gives lucerne natural buffering properties, meaning it helps neutralise stomach acid. Feeding a small amount of lucerne chaff before exercise has been shown to reduce the splashing of acid onto the sensitive upper stomach lining, making it a useful tool in gastric ulcer prevention and management.
→ The quality protein supports muscle development and topline maintenance, making it especially useful for horses in work, young horses, veterans struggling to hold condition, and horses recovering from illness or injury.
→ Lucerne is also one of the better chaff options for horses needing to rebuild damaged laminae following laminitis, where high-quality protein is specifically required for tissue repair.

🌾 Where people go wrong with lucerne:
It is not a chaff for every horse in every situation. Good doers, native breeds, or horses on rich pasture can easily receive more protein and energy than they need if lucerne makes up a large part of their diet. This is not necessarily dangerous, but it is unnecessary and can contribute to excess condition.
