When should I use a forage extender for my horse?

A forage extender can be useful when hay or pasture is limited, hay quality is inconsistent or your horse has difficulty consuming enough traditional forage. It can also provide a convenient way to add quality fiber to the diet.

What are the benefits of feeding a pelleted forage extender?

Pelleted forage can help horses meet their fiber needs while potentially reducing exposure to some of the dust and mold associated with traditional hay. Sentinel Hay Stretcher also provides a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio to support proper mineral absorption and metabolism.

Is Sentinel Hay Stretcher a complete horse feed?

No. Sentinel Hay Stretcher is not fortified with vitamins or trace minerals, so it shouldn’t be relied on as a complete source of nutrition. It should be fed as part of a balanced diet that provides the vitamins and minerals your horse needs.

Science based hay supplementation.

Sentinel Forage Extender goes beyond fiber alone, providing balanced nutrition to help support your horse when hay quality or availability falls short. Protein and added fat help maintain muscle and body condition, while highly digestible fiber supports gut health and consistent forage intake. Controlled starch and sugar levels round out a science-based approach to hay supplementation.
