For a job well done!
WHAT IS NSC?
The term non-structural carbohydrate includes the carbohydrates glucose, sucrose, fructose, starch and fructan. Grains are high in
the non-structural carbohydrate starch. When the horse eats grain, the enzymes in the small intestines break the starch up into single
pieces of glucose. This glucose is then absorbed into your horse’s bloodstream.
THE GLYCEMIC INDEX
The Glycemic Index is a measure of the amount of glucose produced as a result of digesting the hydrolysable carbohydrates in the
feed. The higher the number, the higher the production of glucose. The Glycemic Index of several common horse feeds is as follows:
typical sweet feeds = 129, corn = 117, oats = 100, carrots = 51, timothy hay = 32, alfalfa hay = 46 and beet pulp = 1.

Each ingredient was carefully chosen and researched to meet the strict criteria of a low sugar / low starch treat.
We take very seriously the health of our horses and the health of our client's horses.
Low Sugar / Low Starch Hay Pellets - We are now offering our original cookie with a hay base. Theses hay pellets come from a
trusted grower in the Northwest that is carefully tested and carefully grown to meet low sugar and low starch standards.
Beet Pulp - Because of the low glycemic index of beet pulp, it causes little or no sharp rise in blood glucose. Beet pulp contains
highly fermentable fiber and is easily digested by horses.
Rice Bran - Naturally nutty taste, highly palatable. Rice bran is the most nutritious part of the rice grain, containing rice oil, which
contains large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and gamma oryzanol. Omega-3 fatty acids are called essential fatty acids as they are
required in the horse’s diet and are responsible for many basic cellular functions. Improvements in hair coat and hoof condition are
some benefits of increased omega-3 fatty acid intake. Rice bran has density of protein, vitamins, minerals and 107 known naturally
occurring antioxidants. The addition of Rice Bran into a horses diet is a safe way to increase calories without the glycemic spike of
grains.
Ground Flax Seed - Excellent source of Omega-6 (linolenic) and Omega-3 (linolenic) fatty acids. These essential fatty acids help
contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat. Stabilized ground flax for horses is also rich in lignans and antioxidants.
Soy - An excellent source of Omega-6 (linolenic) and Omega-3 (linolenic) fatty acids. These essential fatty acids help contribute to
healthy skin and a shiny coat. High source of Vitamin E. Soy Oil also has been known to help with joint inflammation.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known. It was used in ancient Egypt as early as 2000 BC. It was so highly treasured that it was
considered more precious than gold. Cinnamon has a sweet and woody fragrance that horses just love!
Ground Pumpkin Seeds
Subtly sweet and nutty with a malleable, chewy texture. These seeds are nutritious, flavorful and highly fibrous.
The rest of our ingredients:
Water, salt, vanilla, and herbs.
