Horses are trickle feeders, and would naturally spend 75% of their time eating. This ensures that their digestive system works at its best but sometimes daily routine or weight issues may result in their diet being restricted, and your horse not getting to snack as much as they would like!
Calmmunch is a 1kg high quality fibre block of compressed Timothy grass. The blocks are then enriched with magnesium, B vitamins, camomile, hops and vervain which are well known to support calm behaviour.
Calmmunch blocks can be used in conjunction with the regular diet, and are particularly useful:
- For nervous or anxious horses, to help support a calm outlook in stressful situations
- When travelling, or at shows
- Before exercise or during clipping
- As a distraction when stable companions go out
Calmmunch provides a threefold approach to encouraging calm behaviour; firstly by the compressed fibre form offering an extended eating time, so satisfying the innate need to forage and support gastric health. Secondly, its appetising taste can help distract the horse from the stressful situation, which is further aided by the carefully selected calming ingredients. Lastly, the low sugar content of Munch makes them an ideal snack or boredom breaker for horses or ponies prone to laminitis or obesity. In addition to this, Munch blocks are individually wrapped in airtight packaging, ensuring a shelf life of up to a year whilst still maintaining that ‘just harvested’ smell and freshness.
Ways to feed Munch
Calmmunch blocks are a great way of helping your horse with their daily fibre intake, and can be fed in a number of ways to both extend your horse’s eating time, and keep them entertained:
- Can be fed wet or dry
- Can be fed in the stable, field or when travelling
- Feed in our specially designed Munch Net
- Place Calmmunch in the middle of a full haynet for an added surprise for your horse!
