Problem hooves can be the greatest limiter of performance. 😑⬇

If you’re adding supplements to support hoof growth, it might be a sign that your horse’s diet is unbalanced. 😫

Feeds fortified with vitamins and minerals are designed to be fed at recommended levels, alongside forage, to provide a fully balanced diet. ⬇

⚠️ CHECK YOU'RE FEEDING RECOMMENDED LEVELS ⚠️
A fully balanced diet is essential for your horse's overall health and well-being (including healthy hoof growth). 🤓 If you underfeed fortified feeds, the diet will be falling short on protein, vitamins and minerals. 🫣

While much of the emphasis on foot nutrition centres around the vitamin biotin, this alone is not enough to correct poor horn quality. ⚠️ Hoof horn is made up of keratin, so it’s important to ensure the diet provides sufficient good quality protein, which supplies essential amino acids, like methionine, one of the building blocks of keratin. 💪

PERFORMANCE BALANCER contains a targeted hoof support package:
It has not one, but a combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that support healthy hoof growth. ⬇

✅ CALCIUM: a key macro-mineral in bone development and structure, calcium is also responsible for assisting with the linkages between hoof proteins.
✅ ZINC: a component of an enzyme responsible for collagen synthesis, an important structural protein found in tendons, ligaments, skin and many other structures. It’s also important for the correct formation of the protein, keratin, which is the tough structure in the hoof wall.
✅ METHIONINE: an amino acid, particularly important in the formation of keratin! Forage alone may not supply sufficient good quality protein to provide the necessary levels of essential amino acids, like methionine.
✅ BIOTIN: a sulphur-containing B vitamin, which plays a part in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, therefore, it also has an important role to play in healthy skin and hoof quality.

More to love about Performance Balancer:
✨ Low calorie/low energy: won’t make them fizzy or fat
✨ Low starch: suitable for those prone to gastric ulcers
✨ Boosted levels of nutrients to support a horse or pony being ridden 4+ days a week: provides all the nutrients essential for healthy hooves, top line, coat shine and muscle tone
✨ Low feeding rates: A 500kg horse in moderate work will need just 2 cups (500g) per day; 20kg bag will last 40 days!

HOW IS YOUR HORSE LOOKING AND FEELING? 🤔

To identify this, you need to assess their:
💪 Top line and muscle tone 🐷 Body fat 👠 Hoof quality ✨ Coat shine 🤩 Energy levels 😁 Temperament 🐎 Stamina ⏱ Recovery rate

Of course, you could find supplements to assist you with some of these BUT, if your horse is getting optimum nutrition, you shouldn’t need them.

How can you achieve OPTIMUM NUTRITION?
1️⃣ FORAGE - are you feeding good quality hay or haylage and the correct amount? As a guide, total hard feed + forage/pasture per day:
⭐️ At rest through to light to moderate work = 1.5% – 2% of bodyweight.
⭐️ Moderate to hard work = 2% - 2.5% of bodyweight.
⭐️ Horses needing to lose weight should be fed the lower of these percentages. Never go below 1.5% as fibre is so important to the physiological and psychological health of the horse and cutting back too much can cause problems.

2️⃣ Are you feeding the right feed for your horse? 🧐 If you are unsure, use our online feed finder: https://www.baileyshorsefeeds.co.uk/feed-finder

3️⃣ Are you feeding recommended levels? 🫡 All our feed sacks tell you how much you should be feeding your horse, depending on bodyweight and exercise levels. If you do not feed recommended amounts, your horse will not receive all the vitamins, minerals, protein and calories/energy they need.

THE FEED THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE - without making your horse or pony fizzy or fat! 🕺🏻

All working horses (even those who 'get fat off fresh air') need protein, vitamins and minerals for muscle build, tissue repair, a shiny coat and strong hooves. 🤓

If you're not feeding your horse's current cubes, mix or mash to the recommended guidelines, because you're worried about them getting too many calories, they could be missing out on the nutrients they need for overall health and well-being. That's where a balancer comes in. 👇

⭐ Performance Balancer provides the essential nutrients in a LOW STARCH, LOW SUGAR, LOW CALORIE formula, so won’t add to their waistline or go to their head. ⭐️
