Why a horse needs a chew in the stable
Horses that spend a lot of time in a stable need something to do. Boredom can be the cause of stable vices such as weaving, box-walking or kicking the door. A natural birch log provides safe, long-lasting occupation, reduces boredom and the tension that comes with long periods spent stabled, and helps limit the development of stable vices. Slowly gnawing at the bark satisfies the natural need to chew.
What the Balanced Flowers chew is made of
The base is a birch log with its bark left intact, which the horse can gnaw at in its own time. The Balanced Flowers version is enriched with a flower topping of marigold, chamomile and daisy, which gives the log its distinctive scent and adds variety to chewing. The log is carefully selected and dried, and sharp edges are smoothed off for safety. Made in Poland.

How to offer it
The log is best hung on the stable bars so that the horse has free access to it, with constant access to fresh water provided as well. Hung between two stalls, it keeps two horses occupied at the same time. It is recommended that no more than one chew is offered at a time. The log should be replaced once the bark has been gnawed off, or when the horse loses interest.
Important
