Hi-Fi SENIOR is a blend of chopped alfalfa with grasses which has been high temperature dried to lock in the natural goodness and ensure the very best quality product. Alfalfa is an excellent natural source of antioxidants.  Hi-Fi Senior is ideal as a hay replacer for older horses and ponies who can no longer chew the longer fibres of hay or haylage.

How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding With Dengie Hi-Fi Senior

Hi-Fi SENIOR can be fed on its own or combined with cubes or a mix, like Dengie Fibremix, for those horses with a higher energy requirement. If good grazing is unavailable and you are feeding Hi-Fi SENIOR as the sole feed, use a broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement, such as Dengie Natural Vitality Senior Vits and Mins.

Hi-Fi SENIOR is ideal as a partial or complete hay replacer for horses that find chewing hay difficult. With an energy level comparable to very good quality hay, Hi-Fi Senior can improve the feed value of the ration, helping elderly animals to gain weight.

Respiratory Care

The alfalfa and grasses in Hi-Fi SENIOR are dried at a very high temperature which effectively sterilises the product, killing moulds. Efficient extraction processes ensure Hi-Fi SENIOR has a low dust content making it ideal for horses and ponies prone to respiratory allergies.

The suggested feeding levels are intended as a guide only. Always adjust your horse's feed ration to suit his temperament, the environmental conditions, his body condition and work load. For older horses and ponies in medium to hard work, why not try one of the products from the Dengie Alfa-A range?

How Hard Are You Working Your Horse?

The amount and kind of work your horse or pony is doing is an important factor when calculating the quantity and type of feed to give. Almost all the energy requirements of most horses and ponies in light to medium work can be met by feeding a wholly fibre based diet such as Hi-Fi SENIOR. If your horse is in medium to hard work, try to feed a fibre feed as the basis of the diet and use cereal based products to supplement energy requirements. Fibre is vital for the healthy function of the horse’s gut. Try not to overfeed cereal based products at the expense of fibre.

WORK LOAD	EXAMPLES
Convalescence/Resting	Horses on box rest, or turned away.
Light work	Maximum of 1 hour per day hacking, mostly at walk with some trotting and cantering, or 30 minutes of schooling, mostly at the trot with some canter.
Medium work	Schooling, dressage, show-jumping, novice or intermediate 1 day eventing or hunting 1 day per week.
Hard Work	Advanced one day events. 3 day events, hunting 2 days per week, polo and all forms of racing.

NOTE: All horses are individuals, so always adjust your horse’s feed ration to suit his temperament, the environment he lives in and his condition, as well as his work load.
