Was that charnwood stuff or british horse feeds?

I noticed the BHF one is more, £27.85 for BHF, £25.30 for Charnwood and £24.75 for a non specified which is probably Marriages.

Shortage of straw and wood pellets around here - they feed store tried to sell me the cat litter instead - £13 per bag! ? I said ‘not likely, it’s only for underneath his straw’ and bought 2 bales of Easibed for £7 each and so far I’m impressed with it! Not used it before but it’s made a good absorbent base layer.

They stock British Horse Feeds at my local feed store ?

I paid £23.99 on Viovet 10 days ago. It's Omega Equine version though. (And with Viovet's new slow delivery, no here yet either!)
Looking for a cheap easily-available-in-the-back-of-beyond healthy chaff option now - my eyes are watering at the price of Dengie Alfa-A oil and its friends.

Dengie Hi-Fi molasses free is now £18 a bag. I’m about to start a new bag which should last a couple of months (Welsh section A) but it does seem ridiculous. Problem is that it’s great for him as he has EMS and Cushings so I can’t feed him anything grass based or with high amounts of starch/sugar. I soak alfalfa pellets for him to make sure he is getting a decent source of protein and those are still fairly cheap and the bag lasts several months. NAF value linseed oil is still the cheapest source of linseed I’ve found, he’s getting two big spoons a day in his feed.

Could you post a link (or PM me if links not allowed) to the Hoof Transformation supplement please? I currently feed Progressive Earth but always happy to pay less if I can!

My yard (full livery) has just hiked the prices up by 20%.
They've also cut back on the types of feed you can have - the choice being Dengie Hifi or Dengie AlfaA, basic non branded high fibre nuts or a basic non branded mix. We used to get speedibeet offered as well as different chops and mixes - all gone now because it was too expensive.

I found this which I assume it is.

It doesn't say what form of Copper or Zinc they use. If it's the Bioplex then equivalent to something like pro hoof but if it's the sulphates then compare to pro mineral which is progressive earth's budget version.

I've been buying extra bags of sugarbeet and youngstock mix/balancer here and there all summer so have quite a bit stored up. The only thing I don't have a stock of is pony nuts (used in treat balls for breakfast) and chicken feed. These have increased considerably - layers pellets is not £11 a bag from £6ish and pony nuts has gone from £6 a bag to £8.90. so pretty much 50% increase on both products. Only small numbers for me I know but it all adds up.

Price hikes are crazy. Peggy gets a big bucket of soaked grass nuts at night as she’s lacking teeth and they’ve gone up to £17 a bag. I was planning on adding speedi beet later in the year but bought some now so I’m not going through as much grass nuts but it’s expensive too. Being a horse down this winter I thought I’d be saving tons but I’m really not. I don’t begrudge old Peg anything though. Linseed is up at £30 up here.

I went today and the price I pay, roughly monthly, has increased from £65 to £100. A bag of Healthy Tummy was £19.49 and the cheap shavings that used to be under £7 are now £8.65 ?. I’ll be having a think now about how I can economise that’s for sure.

Bedding wise - I've order a big heston bale of straw off a hay supplier. £35 for a 4 string (approx 9ft long). Its lasted us well although we're probably using more as its onsite rathert han just getting what we need from the feed merchants in small bales.
Might be worth a couple of phone calls - just a thought

Luckily I no longer own a horse but I run a feed store, Most people accept things hve gone up and we have a natter and put the world to rights BUT we have noticed that some horse owners are getting VERY nasty towards younger staff members lately, One I have told not to come back after calling the cashier a f**k!ng robbing female dog...I'm not tolerating it anymore...if you can't afford it - sell up as others have had to.
I never thought I'd see the day when a bag of Alfa oil was nearly £20 though!

I agree, theres one things having a wee moan but thats out of order ? If they cannot afford it then maybe its time to sell or share even. My feed bill has gone up by £50 ish a month now but certainly not taking it out on anyone lol

I was in the feed store the other day and someone was asking about sugarbeet. Apparently everyone has ran out and they won't start making it again until the end of November when they start lifting it. I don't feed it but I thought it was a useful fact to share as it may be driving prices up.

I already had that idea, until the cob got mites for the first time. Luckily they’ve cleared up with pig oil, but I think the straw was responsible.Bedding wise - I've order a big heston bale of straw off a hay supplier. £35 for a 4 string (approx 9ft long).

Wynnstay speedibeet was 14.95 yesterday. £5 cheaper than local independent feed store. It pays to shop around.

A reason for running out was the stopping of doing the shreds, as they could not control the dusty environment for workers. The feed stores have to pre order their years supply and when people changed from shreds to pellets the pellets had not been ordered in sufficient quantity to compensate.

I went to decathlon on Wednesday and they had plenty of horse feed stock. I dont know how they compare on costs, but might be worth a look?

I didn't realise they had stopped shreds.
We are restricted to 2 bags of pellets and this years has now started to come through albeit it in limited quantities which I guess is going to continue due to the drought.

I gave up horses earlier in the year on news of gas etc increasing, I am not regretting that decision for one minute, especially on reading this thread and having seen what wood pellets went to - that's close to a mortgage payment
