It is a forage balancer rather than a feed: fed in small quantities, it delivers protein, minerals and trace elements to a horse whose ration has had the calories taken out of it, without putting them back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSugar and starch are both declared under 4%. Crude protein runs 18–25%, which is high and deliberately so — cutting a horse's calories usually cuts its quality protein too, and muscle and hoof still need it. The instruction to feed to ideal rather than actual bodyweight is the other half of that logic, and it is the part owners most often get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForage balancer created in collaboration with a leading equine vet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar under 4% and starch under 4%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 18–25%, maintaining muscle and hoof quality on a restricted ration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple System list it for supporting normal insulin function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinnamon, seaweed meal, brewers yeast and magnesium salts alongside the lucerne leaf and linseed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-soaking and highly palatable, so it goes into a small feed easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies prone to laminitis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverweight equines, and those with fat pads or a cresty neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with metabolic issues and low sugar and starch requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone needing a full vitamin and mineral supply in a very small feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a conditioning feed — a horse that needs to gain weight is better served by Simple System Build \u0026amp; Shine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed 100g per 100kg ideal — not actual — bodyweight daily, divided between two feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat is 500g a day for a horse whose ideal weight is 500kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick soaking: use 2 to 2.5 parts water to 1 part feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed alone, or mixed into a low-calorie chop such as Organic Lucie Stalks or Timothy Chop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available in a 10kg bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: lucerne leaf, linseed meal, brewers yeast, cinnamon, Ascophyllum nodosum, spearmint, magnesium salts. 20kg bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 18–25%.
