Key Features
Formulated for horses and ponies in work or those with increased nutritional requirements, to be fed alongside any Dengie fibre feed.
The aim of this balancer is to utilise the energy and quality protein that alfalfa provides and so Performance + Balancer supplies essential vitamins and minerals to balance the ration for horses in work as well as ingredients designed to promote health and condition.
Key Features
- Molasses free – ideal for horses and ponies that require a low sugar diet
- Alfalfa – for highly bio-avilable vitamins and minerals that are easy for a horse or pony to absorb
- Linseed – high in omega 3 essential fatty acids for exceptional coat shine and condition
- Herbs – rosemary and thyme are added for palatability and as a source of antioxidants
- Glucosamine – to counteract everyday wear and tear to joints
- Prebiotics – to help keep the gut healthy
- B vitamins including biotin – needed for efficient energy metabolism and hoof condition
- Chelated minerals – trace minerals such as copper are vulnerable to interactions with other minerals in the gut. Chelating them protects them so that the horse can absorb them more efficiently.

Case Studies
Dressage Para Equine-Athlete Weight Loss Programme
Remi is a para dressage horse who is on the World Class Para Programme and was long listed for Tokyo 2020 along with rider Amanda Shirtcliffe. Remi has always been a chunky horse and was diagnosed with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) last year. Unfortunately, Metformin, the veterinary medicine which is often used to manage EMS, isn’t allowed under FEI competition rules so his condition had to be managed through dietary changes and weight loss strategies.
