Workhorse

High energy muesli feed for working horses

Hard working horses have special nutritional requirements. To keep them fit and healthy you need a feed that will satisfy their complex diet needs, but in a palatable, easy-to- use feed.

Barastoc Workhorse is a muesli-style feed containing oats and corn that provides the high concentration of  energy a working horse needs – in a form that is safe and easily digested.

The carefully blended package of processed ingredients provides protein at 11%, a level that suits a mature horse while avoiding the mental tenseness that often accompanies higher protein rations.

Barastoc Workhorse is formulated with increased mineral levels to compensate for sweat losses. It comes in a pelletised form to eliminate fines and also contains molasses for improved palatability.

Key Features:

  1. Oats and corn for horses who work hard
  2. Increased mineral levels to compensate for sweat losses
  3. Protein, vitamin and mineral pellet to eliminate fines
  4. Cane molasses for improved palatability
