FAQ

Why does my horse need a balancer if they’re on forage only?

Forage alone rarely provides a complete and balanced vitamin and mineral profile. Deficiencies in key nutrients such as selenium, vitamin E, copper, and zinc are common in forage-based diets. A balancer fills these gaps without adding significant calories.

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Yes — Essential Balancer is low in calories and designed for horses on restricted diets, making it a suitable option for laminitis-prone horses. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

How does it differ from Stamm 30?

Essential Balancer is a straightforward everyday balancer for good doers and horses on restricted diets. Stamm 30 is a more concentrated, higher-specification balancer with live yeasts, suited to performance horses, breeding stock, and youngstock with elevated nutritional demands.

How much do I feed?

Essential Balancer has a low feeding rate — a small daily amount provides comprehensive nutritional support. Follow the feeding guide on the product label for quantities based on bodyweight.
