Mash stands for tradition

For hundreds of years Mash has provided a supplement to the usual horse feeding programme: after heavy work, in times of reconvalescence or in order to prevent colic. Traditionally, when manufacturing mash, linseed is boiled and served warm together with wheat germ and Glauber's salt. This tasty mass stimulates appetite and digestion, purifies the intestinal tract (e.g. on days spent standing) and improves the metabolism.

Mash is of great importance in the feeding plan of a horse. As a paste or even a liquid bran drink, it is enjoyed by all horses. Horses love mash so much that they even accept it as a first meal after a long period of illness or when experiencing loss of appetite or chewing problems. Mash aids regeneration after competitions, studding and the birth of a foal. Mash is particularly good for older and nervous horses or if experiencing digestive problems, when moulting or changing feeding programme.

It is always a good occasion for a warm meal

The Irish Mash produced by St. Hippolyt is very true to the original recipe but has been further developed using the latest knowledge from nutritional science. The special thing about Irish Mash not just its simple preparation but also the use of a variety of ingredients which aid digestion.

No boiling required

Irish Mash makes for a particularly tasty, natural building and purifying diet for horses. All the raw materials are of the best quality and mainly from biological crops. The linseed is carefully extracted using a procedure we developed ourselves which makes it possible to prepare the Mash (without boiling) quickly without long soak times. Degradation or destruction of natural substances (mucilaginous substances etc.) can be largely ruled out using this process.

Rich in active agents!!

Irish Mash contains a number of substances which aid digestion, such as wheat bran, linseed, wheat germ, brewer's yeast dried, dried apple and aromatic herbs. Minerals from seaweed are in abundance in the metabolism.

Moderate starch content

The content of caramelised black oats, corn and barley flakes is consciously kept to a minimum to benefit the digestibility and nutritional effect of Irish Mash. The usual excess of Phosphorus and protein in traditional Mash has been counterbalanced in Irish Mash.
