What's in the bag:

Maintain & Spell Cubes have a balanced blend of Barley, Oats and Lupins, to provide balanced energy and protein. Performance horses that are used to grain in their normal diets still need a portion of grain and starch in their spelling diet to ensure consistency and gut function. 

 

These ingredients also contribute to conditioning and topline building. 

Mill Mix is created during wheat milling, and is a high fibre, high protein but controlled starch ingredient, with a much lower starch content than bran. 
 
During milling, the as much starch and gluten as possible (contained in the endosperm of the wheat grain) is separated from the castings and germ. The wheat germ and seed castings are then mixed with pollard to create a nutritious feed source for animals.
 
Did you know: The germ component of mill mix is a valuable source of minerals and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
 
Maintain & Spell Cubes include oil to provide cool, slow-release energy. Oil is energy dense and high in calories, to help with conditioning as well as the added benefits of coat health and shine. 

Maintain & Spell is a good source of easily digestible fibre, which provides cool, slow-release energy. Fibre is an essential component of any horse’s diet, and these high levels of fibre help to boost digestive health. 

Probiotics are ‘life microbes’ and feeding them adds good living microbes to the gut, stabilising and promoting a healthy microbial population. 

Without a good microbial population in the hindgut, a horse is not able to effectively digest plant fibre material.

Testimonials for Pony Maintenance cubes...

"At Whittington Park we do pre-training of Thorougbreds and Standardbreds. I try to get as much weight on them as I can between campaigns so I find the T&R Pony Maintenance Cubes is one of the best for doing that. It’s really palatable, they love to eat it. I find that it’s the best product for the set-up that I have here and it also has all their minerals and everything that I possibly need to get into them in the short time that I have them."
