Frequently Asked Questions
Horse Care Mash is a highly palatable, low starch, and cereal-grain free conditioning mash.
Many low starch mashes still contain cereals such as maize, oats or barley. Horse Care Mash is completely cereal grain free; it’s one of the lowest starch, nutritionally balanced mashes available. It also doesn’t contain any by-products such as wheatfeed, oatfeed, or nutritionally improved straw. Instead, we use highly digestible fibres such as alfalfa and beet pulp.
Another major difference is that Horse Care Mash contains our wonderful Nutrition Care package which includes yeast, two prebiotics, a natural long-lasting gastric buffer, elevated levels of antioxidants plus therapeutic levels of biotin. This unique combination of ingredients helps to support your horse’s gastrointestinal function, promotes hoof condition and supports immune health and recovery post-exercise.
Yes, unlike some other mashes, Horse Care Mash is fully fortified with essential micronutrients, including chelated minerals. This means, when fed at the recommended levels, it is nutritionally balanced and therefore can be fed as the main daily feed. Equally, it can be mixed in with other feeds without causing dietary imbalances.
We recommend soaking it for 15 minutes before feeding it to your horse.
Yes, Horse Care Mash has been formulated so that it can be mixed in with other RED MILLS feeds without causing dietary imbalances.

It is suitable for a wide range of horses and ponies from those that travel or compete regularly to older retirees. In fact, any horse that needs a conditioning, yet low starch diet, will benefit from being fed Horse Care Mash.
