Teff Pellets

Teff grass is an increasingly popular option for owners of metabolic or IR horses. I discovered teff pellets through a barn friend whose horse had foundered. She used them as a simple and safe snack for her horse as teff is generally low in sugar and starch. When developing the Forage Porridges, I wanted to make sure I could include her horse in my holiday barn party gifts, so I turned to teff pellets as a base.

To my surprise, my horse Daisy ate them with much more enthusiasm than timothy pellets! As Daisy is a notoriously picky eater, I took this feedback straight from the horse’s mouth and incorporated teff pellets as an excellent forage base for our porridges. Picky-eater approved and low in sugars and starches, teff is an excellent base for many of our porridges.
