Why Hemp for Horses?

• Excellent digestible fibre (~27% fibre) to support hind-gut health.
• Highly palatable and easily digested in the hind-gut.
• “Cool” sustained energy with ~2.5× more utilisable energy than protein or carbohydrates.
• No heat-treatment required to be edible (unlike soy).
• Free of phytoestrogens (unlike many soy-based feeds).
• Considered a natural superfood that may help ease joint discomfort and inflammation.
• Oils and protein contribute to skin coat shine and hoof condition.
• Unlike soy, nuts and other legumes, hemp does not contain trypsin inhibitors or oligosaccharides that can cause gastric upsets.
