Horse Snacks

When choosing horse treats, it is important to ensure a balanced composition. Many treats contain added sugars or artificial flavours to increase palatability.

However, these additives can be harmful not only to dental health but also to the horse’s overall metabolism. Horses with EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome), Cushing’s disease, or laminitis should ideally be fed sugar-free.

In our range, you will find horse treats designed for a natural and healthy reward for breeding, leisure, and sport horses. For example, the Delizia Horse Treats from Kerbl are made exclusively from natural ingredients and provide a natural source of vitamins and minerals.

These healthy reward treats, ideal for training sessions, are available in convenient 3 kg bags and come in a variety of flavours.

To compensate for feeding-related mineral deficiencies, in addition to dietary supplements and specialised treats, highly mineralised lick stones are recommended, such as the Equisal Mineral Lick Stone from Kerbl. These provide horses with essential trace elements and minerals that their bodies cannot produce on their own.

Lick stones are particularly beneficial for horses experiencing significant sweat loss or with an increased energy demand, such as draught and riding horses.

Additional electrolytes may also be recommended as part of the treatment of chronic diarrhoea, alongside a light diet and sufficient water intake, making a mineral lick stone a useful supplement.

There are also other health-related situations where additional mineral supplementation is beneficial, such as in horses with the hereditary muscle disorder PSSM (Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy). Maintaining an optimal mineral balance is an important component of both prevention and therapy.
