Apple Cider Vinegar for Horses

Unpasteurised apple cider vinegar is a traditional, fermentation-produced product used in horse feeding as part of a balanced diet. Chia de Gracia apple cider vinegar is produced in France on a small farm, where the apples are grown and the entire production process is carried out on-site from start to finish.

The vinegar is produced in small batches in oak barrels and is unpasteurised and unfiltered, preserving its natural composition as close to the original as possible.

Natural Composition

Apple cider vinegar contains naturally occurring compounds from the apple as part of the end product of the fermentation process. It contains:

• organic acids (naturally occurring as a result of fermentation)

• minerals naturally present in apple, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus

• small amounts of other trace elements

• enzymes typical of the fermentation process

Unpasteurised and unfiltered apple cider vinegar may contain natural sediment ("mother"), which is a normal part of the production method.
