Horse Muesli: Variety at Feed Time for Sport, Leisure and Veterans

Horse Muesli: The Colourful Mix for Your Horse

Horse Muesli combines cereal flakes, herbs, fruit and fibre into a coarse mix that most horses eat with relish. With us you will find varieties from Siglhorse, Leimüller and Auer: sport muesli for horses in training, mixes for broodmares and older horses, light varieties for good doers and cereal-free muesli for horses that should go without starch.

The right mix for every need

A horse in regular training will appreciate an energy-rich muesli such as Gschwind or Energiebündel. Veterans that no longer chew so well or need to gain weight do well on mixes like Lebensfreude. For broodmares and foals there is Mutterliebe, and for good doers in light work there is Nimms Leicht or the cereal-free Ohne Körndl. If you like it classic, choose a whole grain mix or the organic muesli Pferdeglück.

How to feed muesli properly

Muesli complements hay and does not replace it. Feed it after the forage and split the daily amount into several small meals so the stomach is not overloaded. Introduce new varieties gradually over a few days by mixing them into the old feed. Keep the bag dry and well closed so the muesli keeps its aroma and does not absorb moisture. Base the amount on workload, body condition and the feeding guide on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

Is muesli bad for horses because of the sugar?
Not in general. Mixes vary widely, from energy-rich to low-sugar and cereal-free. For good doers or horses with metabolic problems, choose a light, low-starch variety.

My horse picks through its muesli, what can I do?
Some horses only pick out their favourite bits. Mixing in a little mash or soaked hay cobs helps to hold the feed together. Alternatively, pellets are an option, because every piece is the same.

Can I combine muesli with a mineral feed?
Yes, that is quite common. Many mueslis already contain minerals, so it is worth checking the composition to avoid feeding anything twice. A salt lick should still be available in the stable.
