Cool Mix™
Cool Things Down
The best non-heating* mix
Some horses and ponies can become over excitable and unpredictable when fed feeds containing a high level of cereals. Cereals contain starch which is digested relatively quickly by the horse producing what is known as “quick release energy”. It is this type of energy than can cause some horses or ponies to become fizzy.
To reduce the risk of behavioural problems it is advisable to reduce the amount of cereal starch in the diet. Both SPILLERS® Cool Mix™ and SPILLERS® Horse and Pony Cubes and have controlled levels of cereal starch and good levels of fibre to help reduce the risk of over-excitability.
SPILLERS® Cool Mix™ has developed a great reputation for delivering its coolness promise and continues to be the best non-heating*, low energy mix on the market.
- Ideal for horses and ponies with low energy requirements.
- The formulation now benefits from the addition of magnesium, known for its calming properties
- Controlled levels of cereal starch and added soya oil to help keep your horse in excellent condition.
- Contains NovaMin-S®, a unique formulation of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for health you can see.
* A non-heating feed is one that is less likely to produce excitable behaviour in some horses and ponies when fed at the recommended rate.
