What is Beetroot Powder for Horses?
Beetroot powder for horses is a plant-based supplement, rich in phytonutrients, flavonoids, and antioxidants. This natural supplement is packed with health benefits for your horse or pony, and they will love the taste of beetroot!
Beetroot powder is an excellent way to encourage fussy eaters to enjoy their bucket feeds and minerals, making it easier for your horse to consume essential nutrients from Forageplus horse feed balancers and other supplements.
Whether your horse is a picky eater or going through a stressful period, beetroot powder is the perfect addition to their diet.
How to Use Beetroot Powder for Horses
When horses find their forage-focused minerals a little unappealing, simply top-dress their feed with a small amount of beetroot powder and stir it in.
The natural sweetness and flavour of beetroot will encourage your horse to eat their daily feed and supplements, helping them maintain a balanced diet.

Only a small amount needed to make supplements more palatable. A great addition to my feed room.

I have a native breed who is surprisingly fussy. He’ll eat ‘junk food’ – high sugar/starch chaffs and nuts, but with his type and PSSM1, it’s important he’s managed. Will he eat his healthy chaff and Forageplus skin and hoof balancer? No!
I spent two years trying combinations and every addition into the feed to make it “palatable” I could.
Added beetroot powder two years ago, never looked back, he loves it.

My filly isn’t very “foody” so I feed the beetroot powder to add some tastiness to her feed. Without it she can be hit or miss as to whether she finishes her feed but with the beetroot powder she licks the bowl.

My horse will only eat his feed with beetroot powder added. It was so stressful before I discovered this product as my horse just walked away from his feeds. It’s red magic!

Two of my three horses love this, one is less keen, but horses are very individual in their tastes. I bought it because one {who did like beetroot alone} decided he did not like the boswellia I wanted to give him and was refusing his bucket feeds. This definitely helped to mask the taste of the boswellia.

Pony loves it! If we need to give him something he isn’t keen on then this is brilliant at masking the taste.

I have a really fussy horse who will suddenly decide he no longer likes his food. Since he has been on Beetroot powder he has eaten all his meals.
I also feed it to my retired horse who is looking wonderful on it. I have even started adding a small amount to my smoothies! Tastes much better than normal beetroot. Well worth the money.
