Thunderbrook, are they reliable?

[Bluesy]

Hello,

I currently feed Thunderbrook healthy herbal muesli and my horse loves it, however, I have seen an older thread about Thunderbrook being unreliable (changing best before dates, changing ingredients?!) I was wondering if I should change to a different company , maybe agrobs? Is it safe to order it online as I have no agrobs suppliers near me ? Thank you

I have used Agrobs, have it posted out. Very reliable.

I have never had a problem with Thunderbrook and I have fed their chaff for years now.

 

[Sossigpoker]

If they still employ that sex pest I wouldn't go anywhere near. And the chaff that everyone seems to love is rather high in sugar.
There are better and more ethical products out there.

I don't buy from them any longer but never had delivery issues

This - I wouldn't be giving such a company my money.

I feed Healthy Herbal chaff and my horse does very well on it. No complaints here. I used to feed Agrobs chaff but kept finding stones in it and their customer service was shocking. Switched to Thunderbrook and been quite happy with their products.

I prefer the Agrobobs muesli but I find It hard to get hold of so buy Thunderbrook when I have to. If you can find a reliable Agrobs supplier go with that.

It sickens me to see other women happily supporting this company.
Id bet money on all women either having experienced or knowing a woman who has experienced sexual harassment , I certainly have and one of these occasions nearly ended in a sexual assault. That creep's behaviour makes me very uncomfortable and they will never make a penny out of me.

Barge pole....a very, very big barge pole.

Whatever you're looking to feed will be readily available from a more ethical company.

The only thing reliable about Thunderbrooks is their disgusting behaviour and staff

 

[OldNag]

No idea on their reliability as I won't buy from them out of principle.

I feed Agrobs and have used their muesli before - ponies loved it. Efeed deliver and they always seem to have stock (I am lucky enough to live near so I collect). I have just switched from the weisenflakes to the alpengrun mash.

This! I am stunned people still use them!

I have fed Thunderbrooks for a few years. I buy from my local tack shop, I think its good quality feed but its not the only good qulaity feed out there

 

[ycbm]

Having read what the man at the top of the company said to women online who thought they were being interviewed for a job, I would sell my horse before buying food from him and supporting his business.

And that's before you even start on his customer mismanagement skills.

Another who won't buy their products on principle.

I feed Agrobs, which my horse happily hoovers up and most of their range is reliably stocked at my local feed store.

 

[Bluesy]

Thank you everyone , does anyone know good replacements for the Thunderbrook muesli, is agrobs the best replacement ingredients wise?

 

[Sossigpoker]

Forgot to add that their feeds are massively over priced and sewn to be high in sugar !

Looking at the muesli ingredients, it seems to be mostly grass and linseed with some herbs. So you could feed a linseed meal with some readigrass?

I like the Allen and Page range ,.they do a feed from very low calorie requirement all the way to competition needs. I feed Fast Fibre on its own, if the horse has ample supply of hay or grass there's no need to provide a chaff, unless you or the horse wants it.

 

[criso]

Agrobs is the closest though not always easy to get. I think St Hippolyt do something similar though not sure if it's any easier to get hold of.

Alot of the straight grass chaffs like readigrass are higher in sugar, naturally occurring but high nonetheless.

The Agrobs (and the Thunderbrooks) musli are based on alpine grasses so are not going to be the same profile as the UK grass used in grass chaffs.

I have to feed a chaff as my horse won't eat sloppy feeds unless I add something chewy to it. He's fussy, can drop weight and the mineral profile of the grazing means I don't want anything that's high calcium e.g alfalfa. The musli was a game changer for me getting a clean bowl.

Won't feed Thunderbrooks, even before the sexual harassment issues, they were very rude on a number of occasions.

Efeed are 100% reliable.

I buy bedding and feed from them and their service is faultless.

Efeed is spot on. Check postage costs when you order, you can often get it right down if you buy more stuff on a pallet delivery.

I use the thunderbrooks grass cubes they are by far the nicest grass cubes however they are imported so I am trying to swop .

 

[Petalpoos]

I have used efeed for their oat straw chaff. Always reliable and no problems.
