The basic forages we feed to modern horses are not the feeds that their wild cousins ate. In particular they lack a whole host of vitamins and minerals that are present in natural wild pastures
and at low levels in many typical horse paddocks, hay and haylage. Traditionally we have relied on concentrate feeds to top up these nutrients but more and more people are finding value in supplementing these
further with slightly more sophisticated 'Feed Balancers'. Most feed balancers are still pellets and so contain starch - which is less than ideal. Our supplements are more concentrated (you may only need 20 grams a day)
and are sugar/starch free. As many people are cutting out concentrates in favour of high fibre diets the need for our supplementation is becoming even greater. They are also cheaper as we are not diluting them with
pellet materials that cost money (and carbon) to ship around the country. We are so convinced of the importance of this 'foundation supplementation' that we provide comprehensive feed balancing in a number of
our products and from all three of our product ranges. So we give you a whole range of different price and application options. Please note these products are all powdered supplements. There are no starch based
components in them to upset your horse's digestive system or promote laminitis:
Essential Daily Care - Our primary feed balancer - not just vitamins but
sophisticated chelated minerals, limiting amino acids and essential oils. Use Essential Daily Care and there is no need for a hoof supplement. Sugar free formulation makes it perfect for laminitis prone horses.
