The Feed Room Directory

Fine Fettle Feed is a company dedicated to improving horses' health and wellbeing by natural means.  They specialize in the research and development of methods of equine care which work with the immune system to support and maintain natural good health.

They have always kept horses and dogs and have, over the decades, developed a sound knowledge of how to look after them with little veterinary intervention. Fine Fettle Feed have an excellent track record developing and marketing a range of natural products for use in animal care, a wealth of experience in their application.

Happy Tummy™ is a charcoal feed supplement which helps maintain good digestive health. It is made up of specially treated hardwood charcoal sourced from sustainable British woodlands. Charcoal has been used for thousands of years as an aid to good digestion, absorbing toxins and reducing intestinal gases. Charcoal is riddled with a network of crevasses, cracks, tunnels and pores, a tremendous surface area for adsorbing a huge range of nasties. Happy Tummy™ charcoal has, of itself, no medicinal properties since it is completely inert and indigestible; it simply acts to bind toxins to itself and pass them out of the system.  

Next they tackled the problem of fly strike by developing FlyGon, a powerful natural antifeedant.  This very effectively stops midges and other insects from biting, forming a bitter healthy barrier which protects and soothes the skin. FlyGon combines with the natural oils on a horse’s skin to form a mildly alkaline compound which helps any bites or stings to heal more rapidly.   

Because of our wet climate muddy condition can cause cracks and weeping sores to break out on horses’ heels and fetlock.  To combat this Fine Fettle Feed developed Black Tac a very sticky ointment which forms a protective barrier over the affected area helping it to dry out and heal.  A compound of high quality natural ingredients, Black Tac is water soluble and safe to use on all skin lesions.  

Insect bites and stings are usually acidic and simulate the nerves on the skin causing pain or irritation. Fine Fettle Feeds alkaline skin ointment D-Bug helps neutralize the acid when applied in a thin layer over the troubled area, giving relief from irritation. Further yet, D-Bug deters mite infestation and helps to keep the horse’s skin healthy and itch free!  

Out in the open air riders’ skin has a tendency to become “windswept and interesting”, so Fine Fettle Feed developed Skin Deep balm which, when worked into the skin, provides a wonderful barrier against too much sun, rain and wind.  It’s also great for rubbing into scuffs and abrasions on horses or dogs where it helps to guard against Muddy and Itchy conditions. Skin Deep contains only the finest, natural ingredients.   

Horses are a prey species and if a horse cramps up in the wild it’s likely to get very quickly dead as the predators can catch it. To avoid this horses eat certain herbs which help keep their muscles soft and pliable.  We have studied, collected and analysed these herbs, then taken the best of them, dried and mixed them to produce CRAMPKEY a naturally occurring muscle relaxant. CRAMPKEY has no medicinal properties and is part of the spectrum of herbs that horses used to eat in their wild state.  It’s completely safe to use and simply helps overstretched muscles to relax.  

All of Fine Fettle Feed products are free from additives and preservatives.
