Samples of feed?

[chestnut cob]

Is it possible to get samples of various feeds from equine feed companies, if I call or email them? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks

I'd imagine you can, they give them out at YHL but theres barely enough for one feed in each sample so you can't get a true idea of how your horse will be on it

Most do, just give them a ring. It won't be enough to see if it suits your horse, but you will at least be able to check they'll actually eat it before splashing out!

Allen & Page came out to do a free feed / weight review on my mare and couriered to me a WHOLE BAG of Fast Fibre to try.

Give them a ring - very helpful anyway.
Other feed lines I called for advice send money off vouchers but their feed was v expensive in the first place.

Yep - I have a very fussy mare and am sick of buying sacks of food only to find she won't eat it. I have enough Fast Fibre to feed the household cavalry as she won't eat it...
I have had samples from Allen and Page, Rowan and Barbary and Badminton horse feeds... I just e-mailed them and explained that she is fussy and asked for the samples - if you don't ask, you don't get!
