This spring, Rowen Barbary is proud to introduce Calm & Comfort, a specialist feed developed in response to the evolving needs of horse owners. After listening to customer feedback, we recognised a growing demand for a high-fibre, low-energy feed that supports horses with metabolic conditions, digestive sensitivities, and lymphatic health concerns.

With this in mind, Calm & Comfort has been carefully formulated to provide tailored nutritional support while maintaining the highest standards of equine care. Developed through extensive research and rigorous trials, this innovative feed is designed to promote overall well-being, digestive health, and a naturally balanced diet.

Calm & Comfort – A Gentle Approach to Feeding

Calm & Comfort is a high-fibre, low-energy feed that is free from cereals, molasses, and alfalfa, making it an excellent choice for horses requiring a non-heating, low-starch, and low-sugar diet. It is also the first product in the Rowen Barbary range to be biotin-free, catering to the specific needs of horse owners with native breeds, cobs, and feathered horses prone to Mallenders, Sallenders, and Chronic Progressive Lymphedema (CPL).

Why Choose Calm & Comfort?

With a starch content of just 4.0% and sugar levels at 3.7%, Calm & Comfort is ideal for horses and ponies that require a controlled diet to support metabolic health, digestive function, and a calm temperament.

Key Benefits:

• Cereal, molasses, and alfalfa free – suitable for horses needing a low-sugar, low-starch diet.


• Lymphatic support – contains Cleavers and Marigold, natural botanicals known to promote circulation and skin health.


• Gut health support – includes Calcareous Marine Algae and ActiSaf live yeast to aid digestion and support gut microbiota.
