Omega Equine Banana Colada Treats for Horses 4kg

Omega Equine Banana Colada Treats – 4kg

Banana Colada is the sweetest and most distinctive of the Omega treat flavours, and the one people buy for a horse that has become bored of mint. The nuggets are the same firm, hand-sized shape as the rest of the range and come in the same 4kg resealable pouch.

This flavour is no longer listed in Omega Equine's current treat range, which now runs Toffee Apple, Coconut and Herbal. Their product page for Banana Colada is offline and they publish no composition or analysis for it, so none is stated below — check the pouch you receive.

Performance & Benefits

• Banana colada flavour, noticeably sweeter and more aromatic than the mint-based herbal treats.
• Firm nuggets sized for hand-feeding, one at a time or by the handful.
• 4kg resealable pouch that stands up and stores flat.
• A useful change of flavour for a horse that has stopped responding to its usual treat.
• Handy for hiding a wormer or a powder a horse has learned to spit out.

Suitable For

• Rewarding, catching and loading horses and ponies.
• Groundwork and training where you need a lot of small rewards.
• Horses bored of mint or herbal flavours.
• Not the right treat for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or PPID horse on a strict low-sugar diet.
• If you would rather buy a flavour Omega still list and publish an analysis for, the Omega Equine Coconut Treats 4kg or Herbal Treats 4kg are the current range.

Feeding

• Feed as an occasional treat, for a reward or a bribe, in line with Omega's instruction for the treat range.
• Omega publish no maximum daily quantity for their treats, so keep them as extras rather than part of the ration.
• Reseal the pouch after use.
• 4kg pouch.

Composition & Analysis

• 4kg pouch.

Care & Caution

• Omega publish no sugar figure for this flavour. Do not feed it to a horse being managed for laminitis, insulin resistance or PPID without checking the pouch and speaking to your vet.
• Feed by hand carefully with a horse that snatches.
