Cost-effective feeding with SPILLERS®
Winter is always a tough time when it comes to keeping horses and this year, no thanks to the current credit crisis, it appears to be worse than ever. Horse owners are becoming increasingly innovative about keeping their costs to the minimum. Many money-saving ideas are good ones but switching to a budget feed or feeding less than the recommended amount could be false economy, advises trusted horse feed manufacturer SPILLERS®.
“You can actually reduce your costs by up to 30% by feeding a reputable feed, at the right quantities,” says Clare Barfoot BSc (Hons) RNutr, the research and development manager for SPILLERS®. “Feeding less than is recommended or swapping to a budget feed to cut costs and then adding a supplement will usually end up being a much more costly option in the long run.
“It’s important that your horse or pony receives all the vitamins and minerals he needs, on a daily basis to keep him in the best health throughout the tough winter and a premium brand feed, fed at the correct quantities will ensure that he does.”
SPILLERS® produce an extensive range feeds for the optimum health and performance of every type of horse or pony. They have been the official supplier to the British Equestrian Team for forty years and their feeds are the preferred choice for many of the UK’s leading riders.
