Dengie hi fi mollases free for a barefoot cob?

[julie111]

Evening all, apologies if this has been asked before but is dengie hi fi unmollased good for a barefoot horse? I had my cobs front shoes removed a week ago at the moment he is having formula 4 feet and speedibeet and today I ordered some micronised linseed. Just wondered if anyone else fed their barefoot horse the hi fi as I have read some conflicting things about alfalfa. Thanks in advance.

I feed my barefoot cob on Dengie Molasses free Alfa A, Micronised Linseed and Top Spec Senior. She does just fine!

Yep got three on molasses free.. The only time you will experience a problem is if the horse is intolerant to alfalfa.

Feed it to both of mine they are not barefoot but as its mollasses free should be good for barefoots.

My barefoot cob is on Alfa A mollasses free & he does great on it

All three of mine are barefoot and on the molasses free (with speedibeet and linseed), although I use the grey bag (HIFI) instead of the navy bag (Alfa -A) - it has higher fibre content and lower sugar & starch for my lammy girl.

Thanks for your replies, I shall get some to feed with the linseed, speedibeet and some brewers yeast. Have a nice evening.
