This superior high-specification, ultra-low iron horse feed balancer has been specifically formulated for use with performance horses in moderate to heavy work on at least 8 hours of green and growing grass.
The formula has been carefully devised using our own unique analytical data from the thousands of grass, hay and haylage samples that we test each year.
This balancer will support muscle strength and development, enhance stamina and athleticism, supplying your horse with the extra nutrients needed to maintain the highest level of performance in all activities.
This is a low-sugar, filler-free powdered balancer, packed with pure minerals and vitamins. The perfect partner for beet pulp, oats, alfalfa, copra, wheat bran, and other compound feeds.
How to feed the balancer?
All of our Balancers are powders, very low in sugar and starch, and free from any fillers, bulking agents or additives.
We use the highest-purity minerals and vitamins, ensuring against contamination from heavy metals, and maximising absorption rates.
All of our balancers are best carried in a high-fibre, fast-soak fibre of your choice.
We have a handy video here on how to best feed the balancer.
If your horse is on reduced or restricted grazing, or a hay/haylage only diet, then opting for the winter version of this balancer would be best.

This product is particularly useful for those unable to take forage samples for analysis or those wishing to add further products from a base that contains no iron or manganese but good levels of copper, zinc and magnesium.

This balancer is great, our section C needs a little extra, regularly competing and hacking on the South Downs but does not need to be fizzed up. This works perfectly with no hidden nasties. He is also barefoot and is a great addition.

I can rest easy knowing my mare has everything she needs. She happily eats it and has recently gone barefoot!

brilliant feed

My Eventing mare competes a 2* level on this and she has never felt and looked so good. I would never switch to another balancer now, I so glad I moved away from the typical big brands’ balancers – thank you Forage Plus!

The Performance Balance has transformed our Warmbood Dressage gelding who struggled at competitions and training. Now he is able to keep his strength and energy to excel to the best of his ability.

Really like this balancer, my young warmblood is very sensitive to feeds. This doesn’t fizz him up but he isn’t sluggish either. I know with forage Plus I’m not putting and nasties into him. He’s also barefoot and this is a great addition to his diet
