Horse

Mix 1 part of Saracen Rapid Beet to 5 parts of water by weight e.g. 200g of Saracen Rapid Beet would require 1l of water.

Allow the product to soak for 10 minutes (using hot water will reduce soaking time to 5 minutes). Feed immediately or store in a cool place  (ideally below 10°C) for later use. Never store soaked Rapid Beet for more than 24hours. We advice only making enough Rapid Beet for each meal.

Feed Rapid Beet up to a maximum of 0.5kg (dry weight) per 100kg of bodyweight 

DO NOT FEED DRY

If Rapid Beet is to be used as the sole product in your horse's bucket feed, we recommended adding a balancer such as Saracen Essential Balancer and for working horses we recommend adding a tablespoon of salt to the diet.

Feeding a horse properly doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated as long as you keep your nutritional goals in mind. Saracen is here to help you understand how to achieve those goals with the correct products and feeding strategies: simple, practical solutions that make sense. Saracen has a professional, well-qualified and understanding team of people on its staff who work hard to listen to your horse’s nutritional requirements, and to your ambitions.

You can request advice and a free no obligation "Feed Check" with the Saracen Feed Advice Form, or use our interactive Ration Consultant, to find out if the diet you are feeding your horse is meeting his nutrient requirements.

The consultant will ask you questions on your horse and their routine and will help you to understand if/where their diet is lacking in essential vitamins and minerals.

Partnership with Kentucky Equine Research (KER)

Saracen Horse Feeds Ltd. has always been dedicated to producing nutritionally sound, innovative formulas and providing customers with accessible personal service. These commitments led Saracen to Kentucky Equine Research (KER), founded by Dr. Joe Pagan Ph.D. in 1988.

Saracen is the exclusive Kentucky Equine Research (KER) Team Member in the UK.

KER is the most prolific independent equine research center in the world, entirely committed to the advancement of breeding and athletic performance through nutrition. The aim at KER is to enhance the understanding of equine nutrition and exercise physiology, and apply this knowledge to produce healthier, more athletic horses. From its headquarters in Central Kentucky, KER conducts extensive research, and each research trial is designed to improve the health and wellbeing of horses by targeting specific problems, and finding nutritional solutions.

The collaboration has given Saracen the chance to consistently provide nutritional solutions with unique, progressive feeds that can make a real difference, along with the science to support them. RE-LEVE®, Level-Grow™ and Super Fibre Pencils are good examples of concept feeds that have been produced as joint projects.
