Healthy Herbal Chaff: The Crown Jewel π β Best Seller
If you're looking for a chaff that's truly special, Thunderbrook's Healthy Herbal Chaff is where the magic happens. This isn't just any old chopped hay β it's a carefully crafted blend that showcases everything Thunderbrook stands for.
What's Inside?
The star ingredient is dried, chopped meadow grass sourced from organic hay fields in Oxfordshire. But here's what makes it extraordinary: these ancient meadow fields contain over 200 different varieties of grasses and forbs. Compare that to modern pastures with their handful of commercial grass species, and you'll understand why this chaff is so special.
The nutritional profile speaks for itself β 12.6% crude protein and 2.6% fat content, providing 2.1749 Mcal/kg of digestible energy. But the real beauty lies in the additional ingredients: a light coating of quality linseed oil plus soothing herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, and peppermint.
Why Your Horse Will Love It
The chopped format encourages slow, thorough chewing, which means better digestion and increased saliva production. Those ancient meadow grasses provide natural prebiotics and probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome β something that's absolutely essential for their health and happiness.
The herbs aren't just for show either. Chamomile and lemon balm offer natural calming properties, while peppermint supports digestive comfort. It's like giving your horse a spa treatment with every meal! π
When it comes to feeding your horse naturally, Thunderbrook stands head and shoulders above the rest π΄. Their commitment to wholesome, minimally processed feeds makes them a favourite among horse owners who want the very best for their four-legged friends. Today, we're shining a spotlight on three absolute stars from their range that we're proud to stock at Ashurst Equestrian & Country.
What Makes Thunderbrook Special? πΏ
Before we dive into the products, let's talk about why Thunderbrook has earned such a loyal following. Unlike many commercial feed manufacturers, Thunderbrook takes a refreshingly natural approach. They say no to cereals, molasses, artificial preservatives, and chemical nasties β instead focusing on ingredients that horses are evolutionarily designed to eat.
Their feeds are formulated by expert nutritionists who understand that a horse's gut health is the foundation of overall wellbeing. Every product is designed to support that delicate digestive balance while providing optimal nutrition. It's this commitment to quality that makes Thunderbrook such a perfect fit for our customers here in Surrey and beyond.
Organic Meadow Nuts: Concentrated Goodness π₯
Thunderbrook's Organic Meadow Nuts take their commitment to natural feeding to the next level. These aren't your typical hard feed pellets β they're carefully formulated nuggets that pack serious nutritional punch while staying true to the brand's natural philosophy.
Perfect for Busy Horse Owners
What we love about these nuts is their convenience without compromise. They're ideal for horses who need extra condition, whether that's competition horses in regular work or older horses who need help maintaining weight through winter months βοΈ.
The organic certification means you can be confident about what you're feeding β no nasties, no shortcuts, just pure nutrition your horse can actually use. They're particularly brilliant for horses with sensitive digestions who struggle with traditional high-starch feeds.
Feeding Made Simple
The beauty of Meadow Nuts is their versatility. You can feed them dry, soaked to make a mash, or mixed with chaff for added bulk. Many of our customers tell us their horses absolutely love the taste, and we often see improved coat condition and energy levels within weeks of switching.
