Graze on - have you tried it?

[luckyhorseshoe]

Hi - i will try and keep this short and sweet but wondering if any1 had tried this feed.

Thinking of using this for my 5 yr old Pre mare.

She is fed large quantities of hay and grazing isn't bad but i want to give her a small feed for her supplements (seaweed, magnesium and sweet itch supplement). She doesn't need feed for energy or conditioning as she is at a good weight for condition and age. However she is quite fussy. I've tried fast fibre and she leaves it, i tried adding spearmint but she isn't keen on that either. She is currently on hi fi orignial with ride and relax but can leave it sometimes.

So was thinking that this might entice her to eat it but will it make her fizz? And has anyone fed it with success to a fussy eater?

Thanks for your help in advance

My boy loves it, he'll even eat it on its own.

My mare went off it quite quickly, and it was slightly musty smelling in places. Haven't bothered with it again I'm afraid!

My boy loves it! and I now feed Graze on Gold blend instead of hi-fi lite. Its a grass and straw chaff. he seems to like it

Ours love it, we use it through winter instead of chaff. It hasn't made any of ours fizzy but it is not fed in large quantities.

Hey everyone.

I've used Graze On in the past. My horse is a very fussy 31yr old gelding. We went through about quarter of a sack of Graze On and then stopped eating it. Ordered Spillers Readigrass and he loves it.

I also found Graze On to be very coarse and didn't seem to smell as nice as the Readigrass. Readigrass seemed to last longer too.

Won't buy Graze on again but would totally recommend Spillers Readi Grass.

My gelding would have a medium sized trug bucket every night plus his usual feed.

Thanks for all your replies - v helpful!!

Those of you using readi grass - has it made yours fizz up? That was the main reason i was looking at graze on?

i never had issues of mine heating up on any of the dried graases i've used (arabx, connie, TB, irishx).

All horses I have given it to like it - as well as my rabbits!
