MAINTENANCE MIX – Low Energy High Fibre Horse Feed Essential Nutrition Without Excess Energy Product Overview MAINTENANCE MIX is a low-energy, high-fibre feed formulated to provide essential nutrients without promoting excess weight gain or unnecessary energy. Developed by Saracen Horse Feeds, MAINTENANCE MIX is ideal for horses and ponies at rest, in light work, or recovering post season. Designed to support digestive health and general wellbeing, MAINTENANCE MIX contains elevated fibre levels to maintain gut function while delivering a balanced spectrum of vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of quality protein with essential amino acids such as lysine and methionine helps support muscle maintenance, immune function, and recovery — particularly beneficial during hot summer months when heat stress can impact condition.

It is especially suitable for endurance horses during post-season recovery and for horses requiring nutritional support without additional performance fuel.
