My beautiful black Irish Cob has suffered terribly with hyperkeratosis (M&S) on his 4 white feathered feet. Until now… Not wanting him to go through another season sore and uncomfortable, and having tried everything topical with no joy, l researched and found Honeychop Light and Healthy. I started feeding it 6 weeks ago 1 scoop mixed with 1 of the Honeychop with herbs and some dried grass. Checked his skin under his feathers tonight and had to double check – no cracks, no sores, no oozing. The skin felt smooth and the build up of the psoriasis like skin was minimal. I am thrilled, and Henry finally comfortable. Thank you. Results from the inside that show on the outside.
Thank you very much for your help and advise! I’ve had my cob on your Lite and Healthy for around 6 weeks now and the difference it’s made to his mallenders has been amazing! Thank you!
I’ve recently swapped over to light & healthy mainly due to feeding issues concerned with intolerance. I always try to keep feeding simple as I have a very fussy donkey who shared the yard with my horses and all 3 love this feed.
Dear Honeychop, what an amazing product this is! Just discovered this and moved away from my usual fibre feed and my horses look truly amazing on you Lite and Healthy. The bag lasts for ever – this is such great value and the quality is always first class. Never a drop left from any of my usually fussy horses. Thank you !
My mare loves this! I struggled to find one that was free from molasses AND alfalfa but that had a bit more flavour than plain chaff as she is very picky! This, however is perfect for her and she eats every last bit of her feed now.
My pony Carter loves this stuff, he can’t eat it fast enough. He’s gotten a lovely shiny coat now and it also helps controls his weight due to laminitis.
It’s a much better quality chaff compared to others on the market and it’s also better on cost.
I currently feed your Lite & Healthy chop to all three of my girls. Each of them has an individual need and your chop is the ONLY one on the market that ticks all their boxes.
My eldest mare, Charm has a variety of problems (ulcer prone, IAD and has just been diagnosed with hepatitis and moderate liver damage) and needs such a specific chop, yours is a life saver. She needs low protein, sugar and starch with no molasses, soya or Alfa. I love the fact their are marigolds and fresh herbs in there as well which makes it tasty as she is a fussy eater.
The little coloured cob, Weirdo has very worn front teeth and over the winter struggles with her weight. In the summer she needs a low sugar and starch chaff to keep her a healthy weight.
Calypso is my newest addition who came over from Ireland. She is a very tense girl who is just starting to trust me After a rough time over in Ireland. I wanted a low sugar and starch chop that is also tummy friendly just in case she has ulcers, so again, yours fit the bill perfectly.
Hi I feed your Lite and Healthy,my 3 boys love it,it looks good and I like the fact you can actually see the flower heads,it smell delicious and I get 3 clean bowls every time,I’m happy knowing they can enjoy a tasty dinner that is below the recommended 10%sugar and starch,my boys have great coats and their weight is spot on.
We use this for our 19yr old Welsh B pony who has cushings and EMS and he loves it. There is so much in the bag and being low in sugar and starch, I know it is safe for him.
This product smells amazing. I discovered it last year and after trying a sample I have been usi g it ever since for my laminitics pony.
I love this feed. I have a barefoot connemara mare and this feed is perfect to provide her with a little mouthful to get her supplements in. She gobbles it up and it feels lovely and soft. A bag lasts us ages! Much longer than similar products. I particularly like that it is actually low sugar and starch unlike other feeds that market themselves as suitable for laminitis risk and are actually high in sugar or are coated in molasses. I also like that it is free from alfalfa and soya.
