Description
Pure Meadow Mash packs all the goodness of hay into a high-fibre micro-pellet that soaks quickly into a soft, easy-to-chew mash. It provides the essential nutrients of hay but in a more convenient, palatable form, making it ideal for horses with dental issues or those struggling with hay. Free from molasses and wholegrain cereals, it’s low in sugar and starch, perfect for excitable horses or those needing a low-starch diet. The blend of high-quality fibre, prebiotics, and probiotics helps support digestive health, while the super fibres retain water, aiding hydration and fluid intake.
Designed to mimic the nutritional value of hay, Pure Meadow Mash is suitable for a variety of horses, from older horses with poor dentition to competition horses needing extra fibre and hydration. It can be used as a partial hay replacer, providing up to 1kg per 100kg bodyweight per day, and is easy to prepare in just 5 minutes. As it contains no added vitamins and minerals, it can be fed in higher quantities without causing any dietary imbalances. Whether used in buckets to mimic natural foraging behaviour or as a hay alternative, Pure Meadow Mash ensures your horse doesn’t miss out on essential fibre and hydration.
Feeding Rate
Up to 1kg per 100kg bodyweight per day.
Soak with 1 part feed to 2 parts water.
Supplied in 15kg bags.

LOVED BY MANY
Gentle on teeth, big on fibre
Feeding a hay replacer like Pure Meadow Mash provides consistent, known levels of sugar and starch, unlike hay where these levels can vary. This makes it a great option for horses needing a controlled diet. It’s perfect for horses with poor teeth, dust allergies, or those needing a reliable feed before frosty mornings, as it’s easy to chew, gentle on the digestive system, and can be quickly soaked for convenience.

Did you know the sugar in grass isn’t constant?
It rises and falls throughout the day, driven by photosynthesis and temperature. Early morning (6–10 am), photosynthesis hasn’t yet packed the grass with soluble sugars, so grazing is generally lower risk and a safer window for horses prone to laminitis or weight gain.
Between late morning and late afternoon (11–5 pm), sunlight drives sugar production. Levels climb steadily, meaning horses grazing during this period should be monitored closely, especially those with metabolic sensitivities.
By evening and overnight (18–05 am), grass sugar can peak. Cooler nights trap sugars in the plant, creating a riskier forage for susceptible horses. Grazing unmanaged during this window can overload the horse’s system and trigger laminitis.
Understanding these daily sugar fluctuations allows you to manage turnout strategically, protect gut and metabolic health.

If you’ve ever owned a good-doer, you’ll know… they don’t miss a meal. Not ever.
Spring grass comes through, the sun appears, and suddenly, what should be a simple turnout becomes a stressful balancing act.
For some, that starts with a muzzle. Not to restrict completely, but to slow things down – turning every bite into a more considered mouthful.
For others, it’s strip grazing. Walking the fence line forward inch by inch, controlling access to fresh grass and keeping intake steady rather than excessive.
Then there’s hay, soaked to reduce sugar levels, making it a safer, more suitable forage option when you need to take the edge off.
Some horses thrive in dry paddocks, where grass intake is minimal but movement and turnout are still part of their routine. Others benefit from a little more time stabled, where you can fully manage what goes in and when.
All of these approaches share the same underlying principle: restriction. You’re limiting intake to manage weight, sugar exposure, and overall health. But it’s easy to forget what else gets restricted at the same time. When you reduce grass, soak hay, or limit access to forage, you’re not just cutting calories and sugars, you’re also reducing the intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that your horse would naturally pick up throughout the day.
Over time, that gap can start to show. Hoof quality, coat condition, muscle maintenance, even energy levels and recovery, they’re all influenced by those nutrients that are no longer consistently coming in. This is where a low calorie balancer, like Pure Balance comes in. It`s job is to fill in these nutrition gaps and help provide your horse with everything they need, in a low calorie format 🩵

Body condition scoring… we talk about it a lot, but what does it actually look like in practice? 👀
It’s not about one quick glance or a number on a chart, it’s about building a picture, piece by piece, of how your horse is carrying condition.
1. Start at the topline.
Run your hand along the back: are the vertebrae sharp and visible, or is there a smooth, even covering? Ideally, you’re looking for a soft, rounded feel without a crease forming down the spine, which can indicate excess fat.
2.Then move to the neck and shoulders.
This is where fat can start to deposit quite early. A cresty neck or filling in front of the shoulder can be a sign your horse is carrying more condition than they need, particularly in native types or good doers. It’s also an important area to monitor for metabolic health.
3. Next, the ribs.
You shouldn’t necessarily see them, but you should be able to feel them easily. If they’re hard to find, it’s often a sign condition is creeping up. If they’re too prominent, it may indicate your horse needs more support nutritionally.
4. Then the hindquarters.
Look at the shape; are they rounded and filled, or more angular? Fat tends to sit around the tail head and quarters, so this area gives a good indication of overall energy balance.
And finally and most importantly, monitor over time.
Body condition scoring isn’t a one-off check. Horses change with the seasons, workload, and diet. What matters is spotting those small changes early, before they become bigger issues. Because when you understand where and how your horse carries condition, you’re in a much better position to feed for them, not just follow a generic plan.

In the UK, it’s estimated that 1 in 10 horses will experience a laminitis episode every year; that’s around 96,000 cases annually.
And right now, in April, we’re entering one of the highest-risk periods of the year.
As grass growth accelerates with longer days and fluctuating temperatures, levels of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), particularly sugars like fructans, can rise significantly. Cool nights followed by bright, sunny days are the perfect conditions for these sugar levels to spike, increasing the risk for horses, especially those with underlying insulin dysregulation.
Laminitis is now widely recognised as a complex, endocrine-driven disease, where elevated insulin levels can directly compromise the lamellar structures within the hoof. This weakens the bond between the hoof wall and pedal bone, and once damage begins, it can progress quickly, leading to chronic pain, mechanical failure, and in severe cases, irreversible collapse.
It’s for this reason that laminitis remains one of the leading causes of death in horses in the UK, with many cases ending in euthanasia on welfare grounds.
From a nutritional perspective, prevention at this time of year is critical. It’s not just about restricting grazing, but about taking a proactive, whole-diet approach:
• Managing total NSC intake across forage and feed
• Supporting hindgut function and fibre digestion
• Avoiding sudden dietary changes
• Maintaining a normal body condition and metabolic balance
At Pure Feed, we’re proud that our feeds are formulated to be suitable for horses with laminitis; carefully designed to be low in sugar and starch, high in fibre, and supportive of normal metabolic function, helping you manage risk without compromising on nutrition.
If you’re unsure whether your horse’s diet is appropriate for this time of year, our team is always here to help; comment below, DM us or give our team a call on 01458 333333 🩵

Did you know we use linseed in all of our feeds? Linseed is a powerhouse ingredient that brings multiple benefits to every feed. Here’s why we use it in all Pure Feed products:
1️⃣ Natural binder: Linseed contains mucilage, a sticky soluble fibre that binds feed pellets together naturally. This eliminates the need for molasses, so we can produce stable, consistent pellets without added sugar. For horses, this means better metabolic health and reduced risk of sugar-related issues.
2️⃣ Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids: Linseed provides essential fatty acids that support skin, coat, joint, and heart health, while also helping to maintain a normal inflammatory balance.
3️⃣ Gut-friendly fibre: The soluble fibre in linseed acts as a prebiotic, supporting beneficial gut microbes and improving nutrient absorption.
By using linseed instead of molasses, we combine function, nutrition, and safety, creating a feed that’s not only easier to handle and more palatable but also better for your horse’s long-term wellbeing!

Ever wondered why a horse can seem fine on one day of spring grazing, but at risk the next? The answer lies in the grass itself.
In the early morning, grass sugar levels are at their lowest; the plant has used stored energy overnight. By the afternoon, sunlight drives photosynthesis, and sugar levels can spike dramatically. Young, lush spring grass is even trickier: rapid growth plus changing sunlight and rainfall means sugar levels can swing from low to dangerously high in a matter of hours.
For laminitis-prone horses, these swings matter. Sudden spikes in blood glucose trigger insulin surges, which can stress the sensitive tissues in the hoof and spark laminitis episodes. It’s not just about what your horse eats, but when and under what conditions the grass grows.
What you can do: Monitor your field, watch the weather, and consider timing and duration of grazing. Understanding these natural sugar fluctuations is one of the most effective ways to protect hoof health!

We’ve seen a few posts lately saying straw shouldn’t be fed to horses… and it’s left a lot of people second-guessing what they’re doing.
But straw isn’t some new or risky trend; it’s actually been used for years, and for good reason.
Quite simply, straw is very low in calories but still provides fibre. That makes it really useful for horses that hold weight easily, need their intake controlled, or are on restricted diets. By adding straw into a forage ration, you can bulk it out without piling in extra energy and calories.
It also takes horses longer to chew. That means more time eating, more saliva production, and a more natural, trickle-feeding pattern, all of which support digestive health and help prevent long periods without forage.
That’s why you’ll often see straw used alongside hay or haylage, rather than instead of it. It helps slow things down and stretch the ration out.
Of course, it’s not for every horse. It needs to be good quality, introduced gradually, and fed appropriately. But when it’s used correctly, it’s a really practical add in to your horse`s diet.
