DO NOT FEED DRY – THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS UNMOLASSED SUGAR BEET AND MUST BE SOAKED FOR AT LEAST 60 SECONDS BEFORE FEEDING. Introduce a new feed gradually over 7 to 10 days building up to the amounts needed to maintain condition and energy levels (0.5 – 7.75kg depending on size, type, workload and condition). Place feed in a shallow bucket, add twice as much water as feed, then stir. Wait at least 60 seconds before feeding this product*. Unmolassed chaff can be added after soaking, if adding unmolassed chaff, stir well before feeding. Suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis. Do not feed to sheep. This feed is made from natural ingredients, so may change colour slightly through the seasons, or take longer to soak. If the feed is not soaking quickly enough, please leave to soak for longer, or soak the feed in warm water, then stir, until it forms a nice soft mash. IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: To get the best results from Fast Fibre, please make sure that you do not feed any other products that contain barley or molasses. Many traditional feeds contain barley and / or molasses which can cause excitability in some horses. Even horses that do not become fizzy as a result of these ingredients can benefit from a low starch and sugar feed such as Fast Fibre.
*to achieve the optimum soaking time, warm water maybe required.
Please note, all feed amounts are in dry weight, per day. Do not feed more than 2kg (1 1/3 Stubbs Scoops) dry weight per meal.
* This is the maximum amount recommended. Please contact our Nutritional Helpline to discuss.

Fast Fibre really brings out
the best in Bear, and keeps
him happy when he is stabled
at shows as it takes him a while to eat it! In the last few years Bear has really found his feet and has a collection of rosettes to prove that. Fast Fibre keep him in great condition, especially his coat! Thank you to Allen & Page for bringing the best out of him, the results really prove it!Laura Smith Langa Leonardo -
Linbrook Numero Uno (Teddy) has always looked great fed on Fast Fibre. I feed him this as a low sugar alternative to other types of mash because he is a typical native good doer! He is looking incredibly well and has a very shiny coat.Ella Stuttard Linbrook Numero Uno

Dan has now finished his first endurance season, so is now resting ready for next year. He's been fantastic all season! I've managed to maintain him on Fast Fibre, which has been great, as he doesn't tend to drink when we are away, so feeding Fast Fibre really wet has been incredibly beneficial for keeping him hydrated.Charlotte Scott Dan

Bureside Autumn Mist (Jessie) is my 21 year old Welsh Section B. Jessie is my pride and joy, Allen and Page feeds keep her looking her best for the show ring - and her results have really shown that.Amy Harris Bureside Autumn Mist

My veteran Shetland pony is thriving on her Fast Fibre diet. She has dental issues and struggles to eat hay so is fed Fast Fibre in small amounts several times a day. She looks really well and has come through winter looking and feeling fabulous. Thank you!Marina Harvey

My favourite Allen & Page feed is Fast Fibre, it's great for the youngsters. I have often found that a simple high fibre diet that is balanced with essential vitamins and minerals is enough for them to successfully start their showjumping careers.Hayley Stevens

I brought Oakley as a 2 year old and it became immediately apparent he had some kind of digestive upset. After a process of elimination I found that he was intolerant to barley & molasses. He's fed Fast Fibre, and is having great results, both with weight and muscle development, but also mentally, he can be sharp and spooky, but the Fast Fibre gives him just the right amount of energy.Charlotte Scott Oakley

Pascha, my homebred 9 y/o is fed on Fast Fibre. She is a very good doer, so Fast Fibre is ideal as I know she is getting a balanced diet even when on restricted grazing. Her coat looks fantastic and she is less 'girthy'. Her 'girthiness' was an initial factor into scouting for a new feed as she has displayed mild gastric ulcer symptoms previously, hence being attracted to Allen & Page's Barley & Molasses Free Range. She also gets a daily handful of Power and Performance, which is increased before competing.Ellie Brewer Aspaja

Alfie (25 years old) is a good doer, and has very sensitive skin. Fast Fibre has suited him perfectly. He is also
intolerant to sugar, but as Fast Fibre is barley and
molasses free, it doesn’t make him silly. He is still out successfully competing in Mountain and Moorland classes as well as Veteran.Felicity Pooley Alfie -
Fast Fibre is a feed we have always fed and is perfect for our 3 mountain and moorland ponies as it provides them with the vitamins and minerals they need without letting them become overweight.Ellie Moore Rosie, Bambi, Angus

I bred Darcy and have owned her all her life, we have always used Allen & Page horse feeds. We feed plenty of Fast Fibre all year, just reducing slightly when the grass comes through. I found that it is the only feed that keeps Darcy in tip top condition throughout the year and in a sane manner for all activities. It is easy to use the she loves it and is also very reasonably priced.Louise Michaelides Darcy

My horse is now 35, he lives out and is still in light work. In his late 20’s his dental problems meant he had more and more trouble eating hay. I was reluctantly deciding he would have to go, till I started using Fast Fibre. This has saved his life, as it has so many good points.
He is a good doer and needs frequent feeding, so I feed him Fast Fibre without fear of making him fat. It is very easy to adjust the amount, so he stays the same weight with no seasonal too fat/too thin problems. It is perfect for keeping him hydrated in both winter and summer.Joanna Halliwell Star -
My mare Miss Molly has always had poor teeth and required regular check-ups due to diastema. During one of these check-ups in March 2017 my vets said that her teeth had deteriorated to the point where she could no longer eat hay as this would make her very uncomfortable.
We substituted her hay ration for Fast Fibre and I couldn’t be more pleased with how this has worked. She is now 29 years old and has come through another winter looking fantastic.
She really enjoys her bucket feeds and I am sure that without Fast Fibre we wouldn’t have her with us today. We treat it just as we do hay for my other pony and she’s very happy.Kelly Jay Miss Molly -
Waxwing Rigmarole (Rolo) is a 15-year-old Welsh Section C. Rolo has always been a good doer and for the past few years, has been fed on Fast Fibre, which keeps her coat gleaming, and her weight on track. We are always thankful for the Allen & Page feeds, as they have helped keep all nine of our ponies looking their best!Emily Harris Rolo

These are our little rescues.
They were both malnourished, their thick winter coats hid a lot but I can assure you beneath all of that fur there was ribs spine and hip bones, they had rain scald in places, their coats were thick and dirty and dull they were full of lice and they were both worm ridden foals approx. 6/7 months old, they have now been in our care for a few months and during this time they have been feeding Fast Fibre for breakfast and Calm & Condition for tea. Their condition has improved so much you can see the health now starting to show through in the shine and softness of their coats clearly coming through from the diet and they have steadily gained weight.
Your feeds have been an amazing help with their recovery we will always use Allen & Page feeds with our horses this is the improvement after just two months.Maz Pope Buddy -
Harvey was carrying too much weight and struggling with his work because of this. I discussed with Allen & Page how we could get his weight down and we decided to put him on Fast Fibre with a lite and healthy chaff and a bit of Power & Performance to keep his energy levels up and also to soak his hay. In two months he lost 24kg. Harvey has so much more energy since being on his new feed and losing weight, he still has more to lose but we are confident it will keep coming off. I can’t thank Allen & Page enough for helping us to sort Harvey's weight out.Donna Hudson Harvey

Sapphire who has the show name HAYBELLS BELLA DONNA is a 5 year old sports horse who is also a home bred mare. She has always done well in the show ring and I'm sure she'll keep on with her rosette record. She has also always been a good doer. For the past two months I have had her on Fast Fibre, due to her starting her under saddle career. Before this she was sharing Veteran Vitality with her dam Black Diamond. The change I am seeing in her weight and behaviour is incredible. Slowly but surely Fast Fibre is helping her maintain her weight whilst in work and she's loving feed times as it must taste amazing! It also makes her coat shine so much, I get nothing but compliments from passers by. Thank again Allen and Page!Mariah Stewart Sapphire
