Fast Fibre Allen & Page

OP: what are you looking for from this feed??

i use it with great results for my 40 year old pony. she is very dentally challenged now, and so cannot breakup and utilise grass or hay anymore. she was looking a bit underweight i the summer, and so put her onto a mix of fast fibre, and another of allen and page's veteran mashes.

it has worked wonders for tego- but that is because i am using it as a grass/hay replacer. i wouldnt use if for any other reason tbh. ;)

Hi Whisp&Willow - I am just looking for a feed for the winter that will not send her stupid but will keep the weight on:)
 
I was thinking about feeding this when I've finished the bag of speedibeet. I have a lami prone good doer and she is the right weight at the moment, would this be better for her than speedibeet?

I think the A&P was about £11-12 a bag, and the Topspec is £8.95 I think? Not much, but we go through a bag a week, and every little helps! :)

I *think* they are fairly similat nutrition wise, I did look at the bags....

Fast Fibre Ingredients are:
(min 40 percent) cereal straw (treated), (10-25 percent) unmolassed beet, (less than 10 percent) oat fibre, expelled linseed, grass meal, Di-calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, expelled soya oil, sodium chloride, natural vitamins, vitamins and minerals, mint, herbs garlic.
 
I also tried calm and condition, I am putting this feed down to his recent naught antics , have thought of fast fibre, but I am feeding good doer ATM and his coat is shiny and he seems much more balanced in him self :)
 
I pay on average £8 a bag for it and my ponies love it and it does not have any alfalfa or molassis in it so is great for my IR laminiitc mare.

plus you can add chopped apple. pear, carrot whatever in itto add interest so your horse doesn't find it boring.

We got a bit fed up of the sloppy mess of it, and its not cheap for what it is imho. We moved onto TopSpec FibrePlus, which is about £2 cheaper a bag, and can be fed unsoaked :)

How much water were you using to soak it? I only got a sloppy mixture when I first started using it and put too much water in. I now only just cover the FF with water and it puffs up into a nice fluffy mix.

I also pay under £8 a bag.
