Rest & Relax Paddock Seed is tailored for elderly, retired horses and ponies who thrive on a low-sugar diet. Specifically crafted to include only low-sugar and low-energy grasses, Rest & Relax enables your horse to graze without worrying about excessive weight gain. By excluding Ryegrass, this blend is also suitable for horses dealing with conditions like laminitis and EMS.
