Review - Honeychop Natural Choice Alfalfa

I jumped at the chance to try out a bag of Honeychop to review. I was dying to try out the Alfalfa version they have, having tried 'Lite & Healthy' with success but finding I couldn't get her to eat any straw based feed alone before exercise I needed to try something else. I had recently made the change in her feed to Alfalfa without any molasses and I was having success most days in getting her to eat this however there was some days where she would just pick the nuts out of her feed and leave the rest. I really needed to find a feed she would happily eat a full scoop of, I was finding it super annoying with not only money lost when she didn't like something but also finding it so frustrating as the lack of grass in the field meant she was dropping weight as it was and really needed to be eating her full feed.

Honeychop Natural Choice Alfalfa, free from molasses, is a non-heating low sugar, slow release fibre feed blend with alfalfa, timothy grass and oat straw. Coated with linseed and rapeseed oil Natural Choice Alfalfa is perfect for fuelling work and promoting condition which is just what I need for Silky stuff. Then came an extra bonus that not only will she eat a full scoop of it, she will also eat it alone!!! (😅) 

So my mind is now at ease when she has her scoop before exercise to help prevent ulcers but then she will also happily eat another scoop with her full feed & supplements after work.

The only negative thing I have found for Honeychop for myself, not in the feed itself but my feed store supplier doesn't let them know when it's not in stock so I'd ordered a bag ready for running out, went to collect it and it hadn't come in. So I had to go back to my molasses free alfalfa temporarily until they got stock back in, this sent me straight back into seeing half buckets of feed eaten and had me worried to the point that I ended up buying her some small bales of haylege to get the fibre into her. So now I order well in advance to prevent this happening.

Overall - I absolutely LOVE this feed. Hands down it's then best I've found since having Silk and trust me - we've been through an awful lot of different feeds to find the right one for this picky, sensitive and hard to keep girl 🤣 - just as well I love her!
