For optimal nutrition, welfare and performance, your horse needs adequate forage (spread out over several meals per day) and a constant supply of fresh drinking water. This foundation can be then supplemented with a balancer or concentrate feed as needed to meet all your horse’s nutritional requirements. Lastly, you can fine-tune your horse’s diet with supplements for specific needs. #feedasyouneed

Low in calories for healthy weight management
Helps plain breeds or horses that gain weight quickly to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. As long as the energy intake is in balance with the energy needs, a horse will not put on weight. By reducing carbohydrate intake (=energy) while maintaining the same amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins, the horse will reach a healthy weight.
Rich in high quality protein to support muscle mass
Contains high-quality, easily digestible proteins with an amino acid profile that is very similar to the horse’s own muscular proteins. This helps the horse retain muscle while reaching a healthy weight.
Low in sugar & starch, ideal for sensitive horses
Some horses benefit from a diet low in sugar and starch. This applies, for example, to horses that suffer from recurring gastrointestinal problems, like stomach ulcers, colic and diarrhoea. Horses with metabolic problems such as: insulin dysregulation, obesity, laminitis, EMS, and muscle diseases (PSSM, RER). A low-sugar, low-starch feed avoids high peaks in blood glucose and insulin level, so it can also be used for horses that are susceptible to e.g. stress and overweight.
With long stem fiber
Adding long fibre means that the horse has to chew for longer and increases saliva production. Saliva is not the only benefit of chewing longer. It also causes natural tooth wear, alleviates boredom and ensures that the feed is consumed more slowly. Long fibres also promote intestinal motility, which improves digestion.
