Equi-jewel

[nikki_07766]

I have a 17 h ISH who isn’t a good doer, he’s currently on the Winergy feed trial for their condition feed but I don’t feel this is the feed for him.

I have read about equi-jewel on here and the net and am going to slowly move him on to this when I run out of the Winergy. I was just wondering what everyone uses it with, like I say he’s not the best doer so wasn’t sure what to give him to give him the best chance of keeping the condition on…

I think its just like a balancer...i was using it with pony nuts and mollichaff and its fab stuff, but i decided too expensive and luckily my mare is looking ok atm....so im sticking with igh fibre cubes mollichaff (the cherry one with oil smells lush) and pink powder...will put speedibeet with it during winter!

I would feed it with alfalfa and unmollassed sugar beet. Alongside good grass and ad lib hay/haylage.

it's not a balancer, it's just a high oil calorie dense feed that you dont need to feed much of. i fed it alongside my normal feed of topspec balancer, topspec cubes, alfa-a oil and sugar beet. now feeding bailey's outshine instead as it's more calorie dense.

we feed it to my loan horse who is a terrible doer. we feed with alfa-A oil, sugar beet, saracens Re-leve and plenty of haylage. I would strongly recommend equi-jewel for keeping good cond through the winter, it works really well!

I have a 17.2 who is a poor doer and I'm currently feeding equi jewel with baileys no 4 and have certainly see him put weight on - it's pretty expensive stuff though. So once he's gained the right amount of weight I'm planning to cut it back to nothing

I was on the winegy condition trial and had little improvement - it took one sack of equijewel to get the weigth back on my boy

I have used Omega Rice by Falcon feeds £25 for 20kg- its quite a bit cheaper than Equi-jewel £34.75 for 20kg and has the stabilized rice bran which packs the calories in. It worked really well on my horse last winter which I fed about a mugful a day on top of conditioning cubes and alfa A

Equi-Jewel is a really good product! Best used as an addition to your hard feed as far as I'm aware... Topspec Super Conditioning Flakes also work really well, but can be a bit heating I found!

Although, I have been using Winergy Condition for the past year, and my horse has never looked better! And that's after using what feels like everything on the market to keep weight on him! Guess it just shows what works for one, doesn't always work for another!

Does Equi-Jewel taste "oily" like Outshine? Thinking it might be good for my fussy mare but she hated outshine!

 

[Kathryn_Scout]

Can't say I've ever tried it.... Lol.

I use it alongside speedi-beet, high fibre cubes and hi-fi on my old pony, it's really good stuff, the only thing that puts weight on him!

For a quick fix if you can afford it then I think EJ is simply brilliant. It doesn't seem greasy to me and none of the horses even notice it is in the feed.

But cheaper by far to use long term is Charnwood Milling's Micronised Linseed, 25kg is about £20 plus carriage, unless you have a feed shop that gets some of their feed through Henry Cole, in which case you can get it with no carriage costs.
