FAQ

Is it suitable for horses with laminitis?

Yes — the low-calorie, low-starch formula makes Equi Balancer Pellets a suitable option for laminitis-prone horses. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

How does it differ from the Heygates Balancer Pellets?

Equi Balancer Pellets are a general-purpose, low-calorie balancer for horses on forage-based diets — ideal for good doers and horses in light work. The Heygates Balancer Pellets are specifically formulated for breeding stock, lactating mares, and youngstock with higher nutritional demands.

Do I need to feed a separate joint supplement alongside it?

Equi Balancer already contains glucosamine and MSM for joint support. For horses with more significant joint concerns, an additional dedicated joint supplement may be beneficial — check with a nutritionist.

How much do I feed?

TopSpec balancers have a low feeding rate. Follow the feeding guide on the product label for quantities based on bodyweight.
