This ultra-low iron, forage-focused horse feed balancer offers the same high-quality nutritional benefits as our popular Hoof & Skin balancer, without the added linseed.
We have used our vast forage analysis data set to formulate the best linseed-free balancer we possibly can, containing only the commonly deficient minerals, vitamins and amino acids found to be needed to help support and develop optimum equine health.
In addition, we have formulated our product so that it is the ultimate balancer covering all your horse’s other needs as long as he/she is on a forage-based diet and in maintenance, light or moderate work.
All Forageplus Balancers are powders, with under 2.5% sugar and starch combined. Free from any fillers or bulking agents, containing only the highest purity minerals and vitamins for the lowest iron formulation.
The minerals used are of high quality to ensure against contamination with heavy metals and enable good absorption rates.
Forageplus Balancers can be carried in a high fibre, fast soak feed or chop of your choice. If your horse is on a reduced grass or hay/haylage-only diet then this no-selenium Balancer is perfect as it contains high levels of vitamin E to maintain antioxidant processes, helping to neutralise against free radicals in the body.

My horse is very fussy, linseed upsets her stomach so I was very pleased when she ate this balancer when introduced slowly. She has navicular disease and suspensory problems. I’ve seen an improvement in her hooves and overall health since using it.
