HORSE BALM CHEW
- A natural horse toy in the form of a birch trunk with lemon balm is a safe and healthy activity for stall horses. Helps reduce boredom, decreases the risk of breeding and promotes tranquility in the horse.
The Melisa birch chew for horses is a natural birch log with the bark left on, topped with lemon balm leaf. It is a safe stable toy that keeps a horse occupied for a long time, reduces boredom and satisfies the natural need to chew.
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 the boredom and tension that come with long periods spent stabled, and helps limit the development of stable vices. Slowly gnawing the bark satisfies the natural need to chew.
The Melisa topping
The topping of dried lemon balm leaf gives the log its distinctive herbal scent and adds variety to the chewing. Lemon balm is traditionally associated with calming. The log is carefully selected and dried, and sharp edges are smoothed off for safety. Made in Poland.
Ingredients
Birch wood, isomalt, dried lemon balm leaf.
Analytical constituents
Crude fibre: 96.7%.
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. Hung between two stalls, it occupies two horses at once. Offering a maximum of one chew at a time is recommended. The log should be replaced once the bark has been gnawed off, or when the horse loses interest.
Important
Do not offer to pregnant or lactating mares without consulting a vet.
