Spurwing Paddock Plus 40kg

Spurwing Paddock Plus 40kg – Low-Sugar Forage Replacement for Horses & Ponies

Spurwing Paddock Plus is a complete, balanced horse ration incorporating red-grass hay as a soluble fibre source, together with conditioning ingredients and a full range of vitamins and minerals.

It is formulated as a lower-energy, lower-protein feed with very low sugar, making it particularly useful for horses and ponies requiring controlled energy and sugar intake.

Paddock Plus is ideal for ponies in good condition, older horses that struggle to chew hay, horses in rest or recovery, and horses requiring additional forage during drought or periods of poor grazing.

It can also be used as a forage replacer when pasture availability or quality is inadequate. Its lower-energy formulation makes it useful for bulking out more nutrient-dense rations without unnecessarily increasing energy intake or causing unwanted excitability.

Feeding Information

Spurwing Paddock Plus can be used as part of the horse's normal ration or as a forage replacer when grazing or available hay is inadequate.

The appropriate feeding rate will depend on the horse's body weight, body condition, workload, forage availability and overall diet.

Introduce any new feed gradually and ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available at all times.

For horses with laminitis, Cushing's disease/PPID or other metabolic conditions, the complete diet should be managed with appropriate veterinary or nutritional guidance.
