Horse feed in Portugal & Spain: Pavo and Cavalor
Pavo and Cavalor feeds, sorted by what your horse actually needs. Add them to your hay order and everything arrives in one delivery, anywhere in Portugal and Spain.
Good hay first, then the right bag
A horse's gut is built for fibre. Most of the daily ration, usually at least 1.5% of bodyweight, should be hay or other forage, eaten slowly over many hours. Concentrate feed comes second. It fills the gaps that hay leaves in energy, protein, vitamins and minerals.
So the right feed depends on the hay underneath it. On good, consistent hay, many leisure horses only need a balancer or a small portion of a low-energy feed. Horses in hard work, broodmares, youngsters and seniors often need more targeted support.
Our French meadow hay is carefully selected for consistent quality, so the base of the ration is one you can rely on. The feeding calculator helps you work out how much forage your horse needs, and why horses need to chew explains the reasoning.
Three questions before you buy a bag
Look at the horse
Workload, age, body condition and health matter more than the brand. Be honest about the work: most horses are in light to moderate work, not in heavy training.
Fill the gap
A balancer adds vitamins and minerals with few calories. A complete feed adds energy as well. A topping or mash adds one specific thing, such as extra oil, protein or water.
Read the label
Feed at the rate on the bag for your horse's weight and work. Weigh the scoop once, and change feeds gradually over one to two weeks.
Horse feed by need
We sorted the feeds in our shop by the need each maker describes on its own label. Click a product for the full description, analysis and feeding rate.
Everyday feed for leisure & light work
Most leisure horses do well on good hay plus a modest, oat-free feed that tops up vitamins and minerals. Cavalor's Tradition range sits at level 1, the lowest energy step of the brand.

Sensitive stomach
High in fibre, lower in sugar and starch, with ingredients the makers add to buffer acid or support the gut flora. If you suspect ulcers, talk to your vet first. A feed can support the stomach, it does not treat it.

Sport & performance
Match the feed to the real workload, not the ambition. Cavalor grades its sport mueslis from level 1 to 5 (Action Mix is level 2, Perfomix level 3, Endurix level 4). Pavo TopSport is a topping that goes on top of the daily ration rather than replacing it.

Broodmares, foals & young stock
Pavo's Podo programme runs in three steps: Podo Lac for the mare from the ninth month of pregnancy, Podo Start for foals from about three weeks, then Podo Grow or Podo Junior up to about three years. Cavalor covers the same stage with Probreed Mix and Start & Go Soft.

Seniors & poor teeth
Older horses often need good-quality protein and softer fibre. 18Plus can be fed dry or soaked, Strucomash Beet is soaked into a warm mash, and SeniorFibre replaces part or all of the hay when long stems become too hard to chew. Regular dental checks belong in the plan.

Condition & topline
For horses that need to gain or hold weight, look for energy from fibre and oil rather than more cereals. WeightLift and FibreBeet are grain-free. VitAmino is a protein balancer fed in small amounts for topline. Check teeth, worming and hay intake first.

Easy keepers, low sugar & starch
Each of these feeds is described by its maker as low or very low in sugar and starch. For horses with laminitis, EMS or PPID, compare the analysis on the label with the limits your vet gives you, and remember that hay is most of the ration. More in low-sugar hay for laminitis.

Hooves, muscle, foals & more
Supplements fill one specific gap and are fed in grams, not scoops. These are a few that horse owners often look for alongside their feed. The full range is in the shop.

Horse feed FAQ
How do I choose the right horse feed?
Start with the forage, then look at workload, age, body condition and health. The guide above groups our feeds by need, based on what each maker says the feed is for. The feeding calculator works out the hay side of the ration. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp with your horse's age, weight, work and current feed.
Does my horse need concentrate feed at all?
Not always. Many leisure horses on good hay only need their vitamins and minerals topped up, for example with a balancer such as Cavalor Nutri Fiber or a small-portion feed such as Pavo EasyMix. Extra concentrate makes sense when hay alone cannot cover the energy for work, growth, pregnancy, lactation or condition.
How much feed should I give?
The feeding rate on the bag, for your horse's weight and workload, is the starting point. Weigh your scoop once so you know what it holds, and split larger amounts over two or more meals. Adjust to body condition over the following weeks, and ask your vet if your horse has a health condition.
How do I switch to a new feed?
Gradually, over about one to two weeks. Replace a small part of the old feed with the new one every few days and keep the hay the same. Watch appetite, manure and behaviour along the way.
Pavo or Cavalor: which is better?
Neither in general. Both brands make fibre feeds, sport feeds, senior feeds and breeding feeds. Choose the product that fits your horse's need, not the logo. Our lists above show every feed of both brands that we sell.
Are these feeds suitable for horses with ulcers or laminitis?
We cannot give veterinary advice. Some feeds are described by their makers as designed for a sensitive stomach, or as low in sugar and starch. For a horse with ulcers, laminitis, EMS or PPID, check the analysis on the label with your vet before you change the ration.
Can I order feed together with hay?
Yes. Feed, hay, straw, shavings and supplements go in one order and arrive in one delivery, anywhere in Portugal and Spain. Delivery costs are quoted separately at checkout. See the delivery page for the options.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, €150 in goods. You can combine feed with hay, straw or shavings to reach it. Prices include VAT and are shown per bag or pack.
