Head Over Heels Hemp Hull Pellets for Horses in NZ: A Practical Feed Guide

Looking for a way to add hemp-based fibre to your horse’s feed? Head Over Heels Hemp Hull Pellets - 15kg are a hemp-hull feed supplement available from Red Barn Supply Company in New Zealand. Here’s how to think about where they might fit in a balanced ration.

What are hemp hull pellets?

These pellets are made from hemp seed hulls. The product is presented as a source of fibre and protein that can be mixed into a horse’s daily feed. The listing describes them as GMO-free and made without harmful additives, in a 15kg bag.

Where might they fit in your horse’s diet?

Forage should remain the foundation of most horses’ diets. A supplementary feed works best when chosen for a specific reason, alongside adequate forage, fresh water and the rest of the ration. If you’re reviewing your horse’s condition, fibre intake or feed routine, a hemp-hull pellet may be one option to discuss with an equine nutritionist or veterinarian.

Don’t assume one feed suits every horse. Age, workload, body condition, pasture quality and existing health concerns can all change what belongs in the feed bucket. Check the product label for ingredients and feeding directions, and introduce any new feed gradually while watching your horse’s appetite, manure and condition.

Before you add it to the feed bucket

• Review what your horse already gets from pasture, hay and concentrates.
• Follow the current pack directions for preparation and feeding amount; don’t guess a daily rate.
• Ask your vet or equine nutritionist for tailored advice if your horse has metabolic issues, a history of laminitis, digestive problems or a tightly controlled diet.
• If your horse competes, check applicable feed and competition rules before use.
