Product Information

Full details

The Rockies Field and Stable Block is designed for horse and pony owners looking for a reliable way to supplement essential minerals, vitamins, and trace elements. It is an ideal solution for equines kept at grass or those whose concentrate feed intake has been reduced, providing a consistent micronutrient top-up. While it offers excellent nutritional support, users should monitor intake levels to ensure horses do not consume it excessively if they are prone to over-grazing the block.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this block suitable for all types of horses?

Yes, it is formulated to provide essential minerals and vitamins for horses and ponies at all life stages, whether kept at grass or stabled.

How long does a 10kg block typically last?

Longevity depends on the individual horse's requirements and intake habits, but its hardness is designed to regulate consumption for an extended period.

Can this be used as a sole source of nutrition?

No, this product is designed as a supplement to provide trace elements and vitamins; it must be fed alongside appropriate forage and water.

Should I worry about the molasses content?

The molasses is used as a light coating to ensure palatability; it is not a primary ingredient and does not significantly impact the energy content of the horse's diet.

Where is this product manufactured?

The Rockies Field and Stable Block is manufactured in Cheshire.

Troubleshooting

The block is disintegrating quickly in the field.

Ensure the block is placed in a raised, weather-resistant feeder that keeps it off the ground and protected from heavy rain.

The horse is consuming the block too rapidly.

Restrict access to the block to specific times of the day or place it in a location where the horse must work harder to access it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, remove the packaging and place the block in a designated, dry area where the horse has easy, supervised access. If using the block in a field, utilize a purpose-built lick holder to keep the product elevated off the ground; this prevents the block from disintegrating due to moisture contact with the soil. There is no special compatibility requirement with other feedstuffs, as this is a supplemental product designed to work alongside existing hay or grazing. To care for the block, inspect it weekly for signs of crumbling or excessive moisture damage. Store unused blocks in a cool, dry, and rodent-proof environment to maintain the integrity of the vitamins and minerals.
