Is Sugar the Enemy?

High sugar diets have been increasingly implicated in conditions such as laminitis. Horses are well adapted to digesting sugar and starch in their diets, a capability that has evolved over millennia adapted to the life of a browsing herbivore – essentially trickle feeding of a high fibre based diet.

FAQs

Crunchits are unique due to their low sugar content and natural flavourings. They are free from molasses, making them suitable for horses on a restricted diet.

Yes, Crunchits are suitable for all horses and ponies, especially those prone to laminitis or those on a low-calorie, low-sugar diet.

Crunchits can be fed as treats, with suggested quantities being 20 treats per day for a 250kg pony and 40 treats per day for a 500kg horse. Always provide plenty of fresh water.

Simply Irresistible is designed as a healthy treat for horses, but you may be tempted to feed it to other animals in your care. Indeed, the fruits and vegetables used are tasty and can be offered to many different animals. However, the probiotic we use is only authorised for use in horses, pigs, and ruminants.

Laminitis is a complex systemic condition that manifests itself in the foot with acute lameness. Dietary management rightly centres on weight control, maximising fibre and limiting starch and sugar intakes but can mean a very restricted and basic diet for animals prone to the condition. A small sprinkle or handful of Simply Irresistible will only add a few grams of sugar and trace amounts of starch, whilst brightening up a small and boring feed. Offering 50g of Simply Irresistible Five Fabulous Fruits and Virtuous Vegetable Variety provides about 14g and 11g of starch and sugar respectively. By comparison, 500g of a low starch and sugar pellet or chaff would supply about 100g of starch and sugar. Additionally, the probiotic in Simply Irresistible helps support healthy large intestine function, which is key in the management of such animals.

After use, reseal the bag tightly, and the bag will last for up to 90 days. If the product is exposed to direct sunlight there may be some discolouring of ingredients.
