Weather-resistant vitamin & mineral balancer lick designed to top up common forage shortfalls while supporting coat, skin and hoof quality. 15 kg yard tub for stable or field use; suited to trickle-feeding when access is managed.
Horslyx Original Balancer is a hard, low-moisture lick formulated to provide a daily top-up of essential vitamins, macro-minerals and trace elements in a slow-intake, highly palatable format. It’s designed to complement grass and hay, helping you keep the ration simple while supporting overall health, skin and coat condition and hoof horn quality. The robust 15 kg tub suits yard or pasture placement and withstands everyday weather when used as directed.
Why choose the Original formula?
Balances the base diet – modern forage can be variable; a balancer lick helps cover the small but important micronutrient gaps without adding unnecessary bucket feed.
Simple management – free-access use fits the horse’s natural trickle-feeding pattern and can help reduce boredom during stabling or turnout in restricted paddocks.
Low-starch approach – the matrix is formulated to deliver nutrients without relying on cereal starch, making it a practical option for many good-doers when intake is managed.
Weather-resistant format – the hard, low-moisture block resists normal rain and stable humidity, so it’s practical year-round.
Nutrition & formulation highlights
Vitamins & antioxidants support normal immune function and muscle health.
Chelated copper and zinc are included for bioavailability, contributing to healthy skin, coat pigmentation and strong hoof horn.
Added oils encourage coat shine and provide slow-release energy without resorting to cereal grains.
Balanced macro-minerals help maintain overall electrolyte status when the forage profile is light on certain elements.
(Formulation may vary slightly by batch; always follow the label for the current analysis and feeding guidance.)
Who is it for?
Horses and ponies on forage-only or light bucket rations that still need a reliable micronutrient top-up.
Fussy eaters that prefer a lick over powdered balancers in feed.
Field-kept horses needing a durable, year-round balancer with built-in enrichment.
Feeding & intake management
Introduce gradually to set sensible consumption patterns. Start with short, supervised access each day for the first week, then extend access once intake settles. For stabled horses, position the tub away from hay to keep the surface clean; in the field, use a raised area to reduce mud contamination. A compatible holder can help moderate intake and prevent the tub being kicked or trodden on. Always provide ad-lib forage and fresh water and monitor body condition so total calories remain appropriate for type and workload.
Suitability notes
Original Balancer is intended as a complementary feed. Many good-doers and horses prone to weight gain can use it successfully when overall calories and access time are controlled within a balanced plan. If your horse has specific medical or metabolic needs, follow veterinary and nutritionist advice.
Size & presentation
Supplied in a heavy-duty 15 kg tub for yard or pasture use. Smaller sizes are commonly available for trialing intake or for travel/stabling days; if you stock those, add them as variations so customers can choose the most convenient size for their setup.
Practical stable & turnout tips
Replace the lid when not in use to keep the surface clean and firm. Check levels regularly so intake doesn’t creep up unnoticed, especially in spring and autumn when grass quality changes rapidly. Combine the balancer with good ventilation, appropriate rugging and regular hoof care to round out your everyday management.
