Thunderbrook call it the ultimate negligible-calorie balancer, and it is formulated to cover the full daily requirement of the main vitamins, minerals, probiotics and nutrients on top of an average UK forage diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1.5kg tub is the smallest of the three sizes Thunderbrook make. At their 50g rate for a pony or horse of 250–500kg it is about thirty days; at 25g for a small pony it is nearer sixty. That makes it the size to buy while you are still finding out whether a horse will eat it, rather than the size to commit a season to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegligible sugar, starch and calories — the product balances the diet without feeding weight on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLysine and methionine, the two essential amino acids Thunderbrook say UK forage most often lacks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally sourced vitamins rather than synthetic forms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin E and selenium as antioxidants, with high levels of B vitamins for metabolism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA full daily dose of live yeast (Yeasacc 1026) for the hindgut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChelated minerals for absorption, and no added iron or manganese — Thunderbrook's reasoning is that UK forage already supplies enough of both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdded biotin for hoof horn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood-doers and horses prone to putting weight on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on forage-only or restricted diets that still need a full vitamin and mineral supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that must be kept off sugar and starch — adding negligible amounts of both is Thunderbrook's stated reason for the formulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners trying Daily Essentials for the first time, which is what this size is for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a conditioning feed.
