Low Calorie Chaff

[Stenners]

What low calorie chaff do you all use? Mine really like Spillers Fibre Lite Molasses Free but only one place near me stocks it so its hard to get unless I buy a few bags when I go to the local tack shop so wondering about another alternative that's more readily available! I've used Happy Hoof - they eat it OK but seem to prefer fibre lite much more.

Honeychop lite and healthy for my EMS barrel on 4 legs. He does have senior super mash with it and never leaves anything.

Another vote for honeychop healthy and lite- it has herbs in as well as the hay chaff so is pretty well received by the podgy ponies here. They also do a plain oat straw chaff, but that is less interesting/palatable- makes a good top up of forage for a horse on heavily restricted hay though.

I use either Dengie Meadow Lite or Thunderbrooks Heallthy Herbal chaff. Pony can't have alfalfa but both are palatable for him as he can be fussy.

I use Honeychop plain oat straw with some very sloppy A&P Veteran Lite in it. I used to use Honeychop Lite & Healthy but my horse went off it.

Molichaff daily fibre

Hi-fi molasses free for mine. I mix in her supplements with a bit of water and she eats it happily without adding anything else.

If I was to change I would swap to honeychop lite and healthy but I haven’t because I’ve no complaints with the hifi.

I only use a handful to carry a supplement for the pony so I’ve just gone for mollichaff daily fibre as it’s pretty cheap. It’s molasses free but has a few little cubes in it that keeps her amused.

Dengie meadow lite for mine.

They didn't like honeychop original, top chop zero or TC lite.

They used to have graze on lite, but it was discontinued.

Cob eats dengie meadow light like there’s no tomorrow!
He’ll eat top spec light or honeychop oat straw but only with extra mint added

Dengie meadow lite.
They did a survey a year or so ago asking if there was a product missing from their range and I suggest a low cal chaff with no alfalfa in it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt they were missing this trick but as they responded to demand i am happy to support them with it.
Ace gets a scoop of it everyday with a few carrots chucked in while Alfie gets a proper feed and he licks his bowl clean. Next to no energy in it but he feels he's included in life! Works a treat. I have used Ossi-chaff previously but I doubt it would be as palatable.
