FAQ

Is it suitable for horses with laminitis?

Yes — Veteran Balancer is low in calories, starch and sugar with a low glycaemic formulation, making it suitable for horses prone to laminitis. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice and ensure total sugar and starch intake from all feed sources is managed appropriately.

Is it suitable for horses with EMS or PPID (Cushing’s)?

Yes — the low starch, low sugar and low glycaemic profile makes Veteran Balancer a suitable option for horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome or PPID. Always consult your vet for specific dietary management of these conditions.

How does it work alongside Veteran Mash?

Veteran Balancer and Veteran Mash are designed as a complementary two-part feeding system. The balancer provides the comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile alongside digestive support, while the mash provides calories and fibre — together they form a complete, balanced diet for older horses.

Can I feed it without Veteran Mash?

Yes — Veteran Balancer can be fed as a standalone balancer alongside forage for horses that don’t need the additional calories from the mash. It provides all the essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants your veteran needs in a low-calorie format.

What does ‘fixed formulation’ mean?

A fixed formulation means the recipe does not change based on ingredient availability or cost — every bag contains exactly the same ingredients in the same proportions. This gives you confidence that the product your horse receives today will be identical to the one they received last month, making it easier to manage your horse’s diet consistently.
