Recommendations for low sugar & starch mash

[easteregg]

My two mini Shetlands have decided that they no longer like Fast Fibre so I'm on the hunt for another mash. I need something that is very low in sugar and starch and has to be a mash as one has a diastema. Both have Cushings but their weight is good (one could do with losing a few pounds to be honest!). Wondering if anyone has any recommendations thanks.

I've not tried them myself yet, but could the Baileys Meadow cobs work? They currently have a free sample available on their website.

Could you potentially be feeding one of the recalled batches? Some people's horses had gone off of it before finding out.

Otherwise, Spillers SpeedyMash is really nice and smells lovely.

I had wondered about this but as far as I can tell I've not had one of the recalled batches. My other two horses are still happily eating it. It is strange though as they previously loved it.

Simple Systems HayCare is pure timothy, soaks to a mashy consistency and is under 10% sugar/starch
All mine love it including the dentally challenged old boy and the Shetland

That’s what I moved on to when mine decided he no longer liked Fast fibre.
