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.
What is Timothy Plus Balancer?
Our Timothy Plus Balancer for Horses has been specially formulated based on the latest scientific data from the analysis of multiple timothy hay samples. This custom blend addresses common nutritional deficiencies found in standard feeds, ensuring your horse or pony receives the essential minerals and protein they need for optimal health.
With no fillers, bulking agents, or added sugars, our Timothy Plus Balancer is designed to be a highly effective supplement for horses and ponies fed primarily with timothy hay. By using only the highest purity minerals, we ensure that there’s no contamination from heavy metals, which could otherwise affect absorption and overall health.
Our Forageplus Balancers are ultra-low in sugar and starch, ensuring that your horse’s digestive health is maintained, while providing the essential nutrients necessary for their daily activities.
