Thunderbrook Healthy Herbal Muesli 15kg – High-Fibre Forage-Based Horse Feed

Thunderbrook Healthy Herbal Muesli – 15kg

Healthy Herbal Muesli is a forage-first mix built on over fifty varieties of alpine grasses, with fruit, seeds, herbs and flowers blended through it. It is what most Thunderbrook feeders use as the carrier for a balancer — palatable enough that a fussy horse eats the supplement instead of sorting it out and leaving it.

The free-from list is the point of the feed rather than a footnote to it: no molasses, straw, binders, fillers, artificial preservatives, GMOs, waste by-products or chemically treated ingredients. Thunderbrook's own analysis puts starch at 0.1–1% and sugar at 6–9%, with 22.2% crude fibre and 11.7 MJ/kg.

Performance & Benefits

• Over fifty varieties of alpine grass as the base — not cereal, and not straw.
• Starch 0.1–1% on Thunderbrook's analysis, which is very low for a mix of this kind.
• Black oil sunflower seeds, cold-pressed linseed oil and toasted linseed shreds for oil and coat.
• Carrot, apple, parsnip and beetroot, with cornflower and calendula petals, rosehips and herbs for palatability.
• No molasses, straw, binders, fillers, artificial preservatives, GMOs or waste by-products.
• Designed as a carrier: one or two handfuls will take a scoop of balancer.

Suitable For

• Carrying Thunderbrook Daily Essentials or another balancer into a horse that would otherwise leave it.
• Horses kept on low-sugar, low-starch diets.
• Fussy feeders and horses that sort through a bucket.
• Bulking out a small hard feed without adding cereal.
• Not a conditioning feed. A horse that needs to put weight on wants Thunderbrook Gentle Gain rather than more muesli.

Feeding

• As a supplement carrier: one to two handfuls mixed in.
• To bulk out a ration: 200g up to a maximum of 1.5kg per feed for a 500kg horse.
• Dampen before feeding.
• Introduce gradually over several days.
• Fresh water at all times.
