Fibre-first support when hay is scarce
Drought conditions can make pasture unreliable and hay expensive—or hard to come by altogether. But dry weather doesn’t mean you have to compromise your horse’s nutrition. With the right fibre-based feeding approach, you can maintain condition, support digestion, and keep your horse healthy—even when the paddocks are bare.
That’s why we’ve developed the Barastoc Drought Feeding Guide—a practical resource to help you understand what’s really happening to your forage and how to adjust your feeding plan.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
What happens to pasture and hay during drought
Why maintaining fibre intake is crucial for digestive health and condition
How to use high-fibre, forage-friendly feeds like Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash, Speedi-Beet, Barastoc KER Low GI Cube, Barastoc Complete Performer, and Barastoc Low-Cal Cruiser
Practical tips for replacing or extending hay using soaked feeds
Whether you’re managing a full herd or a single senior horse, we’re here to support you with flexible, fibre-first solutions that work with your horse’s natural digestive needs.
