It is designed for stabled horses and ponies that need boredom relief, trickle feeding and a low sugar, low starch option - including laminitics, good doers, insulin resistant horses and horses with EMS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSwingers are the only hanging forage block made from 100 per cent natural ingredients with no added sugar. Because the block has no corners, the horse cannot grab it and gobble it down, and the swinging motion slows intake further - so each block lasts longer than a similarly sized traditional forage block.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour blocks per pack\u003c\/strong\u003e - bumper pack for longer stable use or multiple horses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow-release feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e - the swinging action means the horse must work to eat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner-free shape\u003c\/strong\u003e - nothing to grab at, so it cannot be eaten quickly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 per cent natural ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e with no added sugar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow in sugar and low in starch\u003c\/strong\u003e - can help manage weight\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports digestive comfort\u003c\/strong\u003e - regular eating promotes saliva production, which buffers stomach acids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGorgeous Grass flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e - safe to use for laminitics, good doers, insulin resistant horses and those with EMS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for\u003c\/strong\u003e box rest, long winter nights, bad weather days and horses that finish their haynet too fast\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilvermoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwingers Bumper Pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack contents\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hanging forage blocks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlavour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGorgeous Grass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeed type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh fibre, slow-release hanging forage block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSugar\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo added sugar, low in sugar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStarch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow in starch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 per cent natural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaminitics, good doers, insulin resistant horses, horses with EMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhere to use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStable, box rest, field shelter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnwrap one Swinger block and keep the remaining three stored in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttach the block to a Silvermoor Swingers rope (sold separately) through the moulded fixing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHang the rope from a secure fixing point in the stable, high enough that your horse has to reach and work for it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck the block and rope daily, and remove the fixing once the block has been eaten.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContinue to feed your horse's normal forage and hard feed alongside, with free access to fresh water.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more stable treats and licks in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-treats\"\u003ehorse treats collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a rope included in the bumper pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The pack contains four Swinger blocks only.
