Horslyx Mint Balancer 15 kg – Vitamin & Mineral Lick

Horslyx Mint Balancer 15 kg – Vitamin & Mineral Lick

Horslyx Mint Balancer is a nutrient-dense, weather-resistant vitamin & mineral lick that tops up the daily diet where forage and grazing fall short. It’s flavoured with real peppermint oil to enhance palatability—ideal for horses that turn their nose up at standard licks or powder balancers mixed in feed. As a complementary feed, it supplies a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and trace elements in a slow-intake format that suits trickle-feeding. Supplied here in the 15 kg yard tub.

Why choose the Mint Balancer?

• Tempts fussy eaters: the refreshing peppermint aroma encourages consistent intake without adding cereal starch.

• Balances the base diet: formulated to help correct common vitamin and mineral gaps in forage-only or reduced-bucket-feed rations, supporting coat, skin and hoof quality.

• Low-starch, weatherproof convenience: designed for indoor or outdoor use and compatible with a holder to keep the lick clean and moderate consumption.

• Supports natural behaviour: free-access licking promotes a calm trickle-feeding pattern that can help reduce stable stress and boredom when used appropriately.

What’s inside (nutrition highlights)

While precise analytics vary by batch, Horslyx balancers are built around:

• Vitamins & antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E, selenium) to support immune function and normal muscle health.

• Chelated trace minerals (e.g., copper, zinc) for bioavailability—important for skin, coat and hoof horn.

• Added oils for coat shine and calorie density without cereal grains; overall low-starch profile when fed per guidance.

How to feed & manage intake

Horslyx recommend introducing access gradually: allow around 10 minutes per day in week one, then extend access in short, supervised sessions before leaving free-choice. Use a Horslyx Holder or position the tub to reduce waste and control intake. Always offer alongside ad-lib forage and fresh water, and monitor body condition—especially for good-doers.

Typical use cases

• Horses/ponies on forage-only or light bucket feeds needing a cost-effective micronutrient top-up.

• Fussy or poor-doer types that respond to peppermint flavour.

• Field-kept horses needing a durable, weather-resistant balancer in winter or during wet spells.

Suitability notes

Horslyx Balancers are marketed as low-starch and can be used sensibly in laminitis-prone equines when access and overall calories are managed per guidance; always follow your vet/nutritionist’s advice for at-risk animals.

FAQs

Is Mint different from Respiratory or Garlic Horslyx?
Yes—Mint focuses on palatability and balancing vitamins & minerals; Respiratory includes menthol/eucalyptus to support the airways, and Garlic uses pure garlic oil for insect-season support. Choose the variant that matches your goal.

Can I leave it out in the field?
Yes. Horslyx Balancers are weather-resistant; use a holder or raised surface to keep the tub clean and moderate intake, and check levels regularly.

What if my horse eats too much at first?
Start with timed access (about 10 minutes/day for a week), then extend. Positioning and a holder help slow intake; monitor BCS and adjust access accordingly.
