Omega Coconut Treats for Horses 4kg

Omega Equine Coconut Treats – 4kg

Coconut is the mildest of the three flavours Omega currently make, and the one that tends to win over horses that turn their noses up at mint or a heavy toffee. The nuggets are firm, small enough to hand out several at a time, and come in a 4kg resealable pouch that stands up in a feed room without spilling.

Omega build them on wheatfeed and a high-fibre oat by-product with grass meal and linseed expeller, and declare 15% crude fibre against 12.5% crude protein — a genuinely fibrous treat rather than a sugar lump. Molasses is in there for binding and taste, which is worth knowing if your horse is on a restricted-sugar diet.

Performance & Benefits

• Coconut flavour, mild and generally well accepted by fussy horses.
• Built on wheatfeed, high-fibre oat by-product, grass meal and linseed expeller.
• Declared 15% crude fibre and 12.5% crude protein.
• 4kg resealable pouch, so an opened bag keeps and stores flat.
• Nugget size suits hand-feeding, training rewards and hiding a wormer.

Suitable For

• Rewarding, catching and loading horses and ponies.
• Clicker and groundwork training where you need a lot of small rewards.
• Horses that dislike mint or herbal flavours.
• Not the right treat for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or PPID horse on a strict low-sugar diet, because they contain molasses.

Feeding

• Omega's instruction is simply to feed as an occasional treat, for a reward or a bribe.
• Omega publish no maximum daily quantity, so treat these as extras rather than part of the ration.
• Reseal the pouch after use to keep the nuggets firm.
• 4kg pouch.
