Discover the Benefits of Hemp Muesli for Horses
Author: Lucie Garabášová
In an effort to feed horses in the most natural way possible, there is a growing emphasis on low-grain or completely grain-free feeds that are free from molasses, chemical vitamins, minerals, flavors, colorings, and preservatives. Given the scarcity of these "healthy" feeds in the market, we have developed a special feed with hemp for your horses: Hemp Muesli for Horses.
Why Choose Hemp Muesli for Horses?
Understanding Horse Nutrition
Many horse breeders mistakenly believe that the necessary nutrients are only found in pellets, viewing muesli as merely a "luxury treat." However, muesli can be a complete feed, comparable to pellets. It serves as a supplement to nutrients that may be lacking in roughage, making it both a complementary and complete feed option.
Introducing Hemp Muesli for Horses
Considering the nutritional needs of horses, we created Hemp Muesli for Horses. This grain-free feed contains balanced ingredients of 99% Czech origin, supporting local producers. Hemp plays a crucial role in horse nutrition, making our muesli an ideal choice for ensuring your horse receives the best possible diet.

"Hemp in its various forms (bran, pomace, oil, and whole seeds) is my favorite ingredient when formulating feeding plans."
- Bc. Lucie Hájková, nutritionist and livestock feeding expert
When to Avoid
If your horse is under higher sports stress, consider a feed with a higher energy content in the form of cereals (barley, oats, etc.).
Dosage Guidelines
The appropriate dosage should be tailored to the specific size, condition, and workload of your horse. Generally, the daily dose ranges from 800-1500 g/day. Adjust the dose seasonally, reducing it in summer and increasing it in winter due to grazing availability.
Choosing the Right Muesli
Key Considerations
- Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio: Ensure the feed does not have a predominance of phosphorus, which can lead to imbalances and digestive issues.
- Ingredient Digestibility: Focus on the digestibility of the ingredients and the content of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Consult a Specialist: Always consider consulting a specialist to determine the best mix for your horse.
Watch for Marketing Gimmicks
Be cautious of muesli that includes various bran, seeds, cakes, vegetables, fruits, herbs, or oils in negligible quantities meant to impress customers rather than provide actual benefits.
