Horses enjoy the taste of whole beet every bit as much as beet pulp, if not more. Beet root is high in easily fermented fibers, and very potent antioxidants called betalains. While extremely low in calories, beets contain the highest sugar content of almost any vegetable, so we only use small amounts in our treats.
Parsley:
A sprig of his herb contains volatile oil components as well as flavonoids. Both provide unique health benefits. The volatile oil components have shown in animal studies to act as tumor inhibitors and the flavonoids are proven antioxidants. In addition, parsley is an excellent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and beta-carotene.

Aniseed: Known as far back as at least 1500 b.c., this small annual plant is a member of the parsley family. Both the leaves and seed have a distinctive, sweet licorice flavor. Anise seeds have been used as a digestive for centuries. Horse love the small and taste.
Linseed
Flaxseed is unique among feeds because of its high concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid. Horses need a minimum level of key fats to maintain good health. These essential fatty acids are Omega 3 and Omega 6. A horse cannot produce these fats in their body, thus they are an essential part of his diet.
Whole meal flour:
We use stone ground, which means less processing therefore retaining vital nutrients.
Banana Chips
This food is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Manganese. Horses love them, we only use a small amount in our treats.
