FAQ

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Yes — Lo-Cal Balancer is low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a suitable option for laminitis-prone horses that need micronutrient support without extra sugar or starch. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

How does it differ from Performance Balancer?

Lo-Cal Balancer is designed for good-doers and horses on calorie-restricted diets with lower performance demands. Performance Balancer is specifically formulated for performance horses with elevated protein and micronutrient requirements.

Can I feed it to a horse in work?

Yes — Lo-Cal Balancer is suitable for horses at any level of work as a micronutrient foundation. Horses in moderate to hard work may need additional energy sources alongside the balancer.

Why do horses on restricted diets need a balancer?

When calorie intake is restricted, horses often receive fewer vitamins, minerals, and amino acids than they need. A balancer provides these essential nutrients in a concentrated, low-calorie form, preventing deficiencies while supporting weight management.
