Feed balancers do much to support this way of feeding by promoting good hind-gut function through the inclusion of ingredients such as yeast cultures. With many of us combining horse ownership with family and work commitments, a product that does several jobs at once can save time and money. PrimoVento™ - A complete respiratory supplement with antioxidants, menthol, eucalyptus and garlic to soothe the airways and maintain lung health and integrity. A feed balancer for laminitis provides essential nutrients, such as biotin, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which promote healthy hooves and support recovery from laminitis. Formulated for horses over the age of 14, this balancer contains the correct levels of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the diet, along with additional supplements to ease the ageing process. It includes CushinCombo, a complete joint supplement and is completely molasses free. Available in a rodent-proof and waterproof recyclable tub.

It is the ideal balancer for performance ponies/horses with elevated levels of protein, vitamins and minerals to support performance, growth and health. Monitor Feed Intake: Regularly weigh your horse’s feed to ensure accurate and consistent portion sizes.A horse feed balancer designed for laminitis provides a carefully formulated blend of essential nutrients, while controlling starch and sugar intake. Happy Hoof Molasses Free is a high-fiber, low-starch and sugar feed that produces a low insulin response, making it suitable for laminitis-prone horses and ponies. The low-calorie formula is ideal for good doers, native breeds, and those in light work. It is a highly versatile feed that can be used on its own, alongside a balancer, or as a hay replacer.

Avoid forages high in starch, such as certain types of haylage. Instead, opt for low-sugar hay or haylage. Changing Feeding Habits for Horses with Laminitis Oils & Organic Zinc - Original Native contains a high level of soya and linseed oils to help improve condition and enhance coat shine. These additional oils have been included to help produce a soft, show quality shine on even the most dull, coarse coat. Along with oil Original Native also supplies a good amount of organic zinc to help strengthen the hair follicle that is important for maintaining the strength of Native ponies’ mane, tail and feathersChelated (bonded) minerals – bio-available substances that are more easily absorbed across the gut wall. Immune support - For horses and ponies on diets, it’s especially important to include antioxidants to support overall health. Blue Chip uses selenium, vitamin C and vitamin E to aid the ‘mopping up’ of free radicals and promote a healthy immune system. With metabolism boosting marine extracts combined with the range of vitamins required to support a full range of movement and activity, this product is safe to use alongside existing feed regimes and helps to build normal glucose levels in the blood. The demand for feed balancers reflects a greater understanding of nutrition and gut health. The feed industry has made great strides in understanding equine physiology and the importance of providing a more natural, high-fibre diet.

De-stressor - Magnesium is included to keep horses and ponies calm and stress free. In addition, the double-action digestive supplement will settle the digestive system ensuring horses feel comfortable and relaxed. The horseowner who feeds a compound feed plus a feed balancer, and then throws in a broad spectrum vitamin-mineral supplement or a vitamin E and selenium supplement for good measure, for example, certainly doesn’t sit down and calculate the amount of selenium his horse is getting.

This combination is proven to increase forage digestibility by up to 100% in a study conducted by Hartpury College.
