Jazz ‘Beets’ his Allergy Thanks to Fibre-Beet Lancashire based rider Julie Andrews struggled to find a feed suitable that agreed with her gelding, Jazz, until she came across Fibre-Beet. The nine-year-old, 16.3hh Cleveland Bay X Thoroughbred has an allergy to feed which is high in protein and brings him out in lumps within hours of eating it. Said Julie: “I have had the pleasure of owning Jazz for seven years and we have tried many different feeds but most resulted in a rash or lumps developing. “I have been feeding Fibre-Beet for the last two years after finding it on the British Horse Feeds website. “It has been trial and error for a long time, but Fibre-Beet is the only food I have tried that hasn’t brought him out in a rash and he loves it which is fantastic! “Along with good quality haylage, FibreBeet is his only feed and his coat, skin and attitude to work have changed 100 per cent for the better. He is a happy horse and I am one happy owner thanks to Fibre-Beet.” Julie plans to continue competing in unaffiliated hunter classes and have a go at some working hunter classes and unaffiliated dressage this season. Fibre-Beet is a formulated blend containing all the benefits of the original Speedi-Beet product, with added high quality Alfalfa for optimum condition and topline. It is designed to help maintain weight and promotes a healthy, shiny coat. Fibre-Beet also provides a good range of minerals, trace elements and amino acids and it is high in fibre with a low sugar content. Ideal for horses prone to digestive upsets and very palatable for fussy eaters, Fibre-Beet has added biotin for hoof quality and is suitable for laminitics.
