We use Halley's Feeds for our Fibre blocks:

They do several different types depending on your needs... the Ad-lib blox are great for good doers as they are low sugar and low nutritional value so basically just belly fillers but ours seem to love 'em!

We use to use Simple System's for our blocks but Halley's are cheaper for the same thing! Not sure if it's true but I was told (not by SS or Halley's!) that Halley's actually supply SS with their blocks. They certainly look the same anyway...

Do a wide range of box, and deliver to your door. I love them, been searching ages for unmollassed chaff, and the horses get the occasional block to play with . I use the BIgFibre blocks, as I have a fatty

just dont feed them to a horse who needs soaked hay for mild COPD symptoms (ie dry cough) as they flare it up no end as i found out with my poor mare this week!

I also use Halleys - they are fab.

Just noticed the ones I get aren't on the main front page of the site... they are oat straw and timothy hay... so low calorie but no alfalfa . They're on the order page though... http://halleysfeeds.co.uk/ocart_halleysfeeds/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61

I've used both feedmark and halleys feeds, both good and my boy loves them but the ones from halleys break up much easier than feedmark ones I found, therefore taking him less time to get through. (he sometimes manages to pick them up and throw them against the wall to break it up a bit!)
Halleys are cheaper though

Another vote for Halley's - good price, no molasses, and importantly for my lad, they actually do something without alfalfa! For a poor doer - or even for my average-doer cob, I would feed alfalfa in a heartbeat if I could

Have you tried putting them in a hay net ? Takes them longer.
