Suitable for Laminitis-Prone Horses
This balancer is recommended by the ECIR Group and aligns with the forage-based feeding principles commonly used for horses requiring carefully controlled sugar and starch intake.
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 winter pasture, or restricted grazing.
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 has unrestricted spring or summer grazing, then opting for the summer version of this balancer would be best.

Every Batch Tested Before Release
We go beyond manufacturing accreditation by independently assessing every batch before sale for purity, safety and consistency. Our quality assurance programme includes contaminant screening, batch traceability and rigorous quality control.
Horses that are subjected to high levels of stress through frequent competition and or travelling may also benefit from Gut Plus for the maintenance of gut health, in the absence of equine ulcers.
To help support the maintenance of muscles and a healthy immune system we recommend APF Pro.
Horses in heavy work may also benefit from higher levels of vitamin E which we sell as a separate for additional supplementation. Please contact us if you need advice on amounts to feed.
