Inspiration behind the product

The Story

As a company focused on the horses’ wellbeing, we thought it was only right to look at the mental and nutritional wellbeing of our equine friends too!

Rather than just making 'a fibre block' suitable for all horses, including those prone to laminitis, we wanted to take it a bit further. With that the Munch Range was born, as a healthy snack with added benefits!

FAQ's

Munch is based on fibre, the natural foundation of a horse’s daily diet.

Adding one or two to the daily diet will not cause digestive upset, in fact being based on fibre, adding Munch to the diet only adds more of what a horse is naturally designed to digest.

Yes, an individual Munch fibre block will soften and fluff up so that horses with poor dentition can easily bite into it. You can use warm water for to soak it for a treat in winter. Ensure soaked munch is fed immediately to prevent mould developing.

Munch will keep for up to a week after opening but should be stored in a cool dry place. Uncovered Munch will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and will soften and expand. If you have soaked munch it does need to be fed straight away.

Yes!

  • Munch can be used as part of the dietary management of horses and ponies at risk of, or prone to, laminitis.
  • Munch is low energy so can be used in low energy or restricted diets.
  • Munch is low sugar - low soluble carbohydrate diets are recommended for laminitis risk animals.
  • Munch is fortified – additional vitamins and minerals will top up reduced supply from a restricted diet.

Yes you can feed it just before riding. The rate of intake of Munch is relatively slow and so the volumes entering the digestive tract will be relatively low too.

a. The first issue with feeding a large meal before exercise is that it diverts blood flow from the extremities (i.e. muscles) to digestive tract. The little and often mode of eating of Munch means that this is not an issue.

b. A second issue is that large meals bind a lot of water which adds to the weight a horse is carrying, again the relatively low intake means that this is not an issue either.

Soaking your Munch Block

While we recommend soaking your munch blocks for dentally challenged or older horses, you may also want to soak them to encourage water intake when the weather is extremely warm, but also when it is extremely cold as a 'winter warmer'. Some horses can also just prefer to eat the blocks like this, so it is completely down to personal preference.

Feeding at Variable Heights in the Stable

While horses are grazers, if you watch them in the field, they don't just have their heads down and eat grass. If they have a hedgerow you will quite often find them borrowing away to find little 'treats', or they might even eat some other vegetation at varying heights. Horses in the wild graze for 80% of their time, and browse for 20%.

Got for my colt before his castration. He loved it, can’t say whether it kept him calm but it kept him districted and this flavour was his favourite. Will buy again
