Special breeds, ponies or particularly easy-to-feed horses are often already supplied with sufficient energy with a small amount of concentrated feed. However, the supply of important vital and nutritional substances remains by the wayside with energetically adapted feeding. The addition of calcium-rich mineral feed does not meet the actual nutritional needs of these horses.

The consequences are deficiency symptoms that occur more and more frequently:

• Listlessness
• Nervousness
• Susceptibility to infection
• Allergy tendency
• Indigestion (diarrhea)
• Dull, shaggy coat and hair
• Poor hoof quality
• Bare spots on the flanks and on the belly seam
• Itching with chafing of the tail and mane, preferably in spring and late summer / early autumn (washing, fungus or mite remedies do not bring about any lasting change)
• In some cases loss of appetite and emaciation

Hesta mix
In Hesta Mix we find a horse feed rich in vital substances in proven, wholesome St. Hippolyt quality. A particularly high proportion of micronutrients in a biologically highly usable form leads to a regulated supply of trace elements with an appropriate concentrate ration. The advantage of organically bound trace elements is their more reliable absorption through the intestines. Valuable oils from linseed, corn germ, grape seeds and black cumin seeds provide polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, alpha and gamma-linolenic acid, which are necessary in conjunction with the trace elements for the formation of prostaglandins that reduce inflammation.

Troubleshooting
Experience has shown that the consistent incorporation of Hesta Mix into the daily feed ration can effectively contribute to the elimination of feeding-related coat problems through to feeding-related eczema. Most robustly kept Icelandic horses, Fjord horses, Haflingers, Arabs, Frisians, Iberians, Tinkers, Shires and Frisians benefit from this. The prerequisite is that no serious mistakes are made in the keeping, care and total feed supply. For example, horses with coat and eczema problems do not belong out on pastures with plenty of forage for 24 hours a day, since the robust breeds and steppe horses, in particular, are geared to poor natural feed quality and thus usually receive too much protein.

Feed Hesta Mix daily
With Hesta Mix, owners of small horses, robust horses and special breeds have a high-quality, balanced feed concept for every day. Additional mineralisation should be limited to the administration of MicroVital.

Feeding recommendation:
Approx. 1kg for small horses per day; approx. 2kg per day for large horses
A higher energy requirement can be covered with additional concentrated feed.
