What does your balancer look like? It is now a very well established fact that our equines require their diet to be supplemented with vitamins, minerals and micronutrients. In the past many horses could survive and often flourish on forage alone but modern yard set ups, with changes in agricultural methods, can lead to our equine’s pasture being overgrazed resulting in deficiencies in their diet. Pair this with an increase in performance expectations - with regular training, competing and travelling becoming a customary part of our horse’s routines the need to supplement and balance the diet is becoming more paramount. Specialised supplements in the form of comprehensive balancers such as Horslyx provide one of the easiest and most efficient ways of providing these essential nutrients to best meet our horse’s needs. Many people only think of a balancer as a concentrated feed substance, however a nutrient rich lick such as Horslyx can provide a simple and cost effective method of balancing and supplementing the equine diet. The well-formulated lick is the equivalent of a human multivitamin supplement and balances the diet with the inclusion of essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements, including the unique Healthy Hooves package containing Biotin, Zinc, and Methionine. Available in four different formulations; Original, Respiratory, Mobility and Garlic, Horslyx will appeal to even the fussiest of feeders. Nutritious Horslyx is extremely palatable, providing equines with essential nutrients in an appetizing recipe. Along with optimum levels of forage, Horslyx allows your horse to slowly trickle feed the remaining nutrients required, allowing for optimum digestion and absorption. The unique composition of Horslyx is designed to be licked not chewed which slows down the rate of consumption and helps to keep your horse occupied and engaged, minimising stress and boredom levels - particularly when stabled. Horslyx provides the ideal feed balancer to help keep your equine happy and content while supporting the diet with all the nutrients required for optimum health. Horslyx is available in 5kg, 15kg and 80kg tubs. Priced start at £9.95.
