Good doer? Cutting calories shouldn’t mean cutting nutrients 💚
When managing weight, it’s easy to focus purely on reducing grass, forage or bucket feed intake. But calorie restricted diets can also reduce essential nutrients needed to support everything from hoof quality and muscle function to immune health and long-term wellbeing.
That’s where a balancer can help.
Fed in small amounts, balancers provide concentrated vitamins, minerals and quality protein without adding excess calories, starch or sugar to the diet. Pairing with a soft fibre feed such as SPILLERS Fibre Lite Molasses Free to add enrichment, SPILLERS Lite & Lean Balancer provides a balanced diet for horses and ponies who maintain weight easily.
Remember:
✔️ Weight loss should come from reducing calories, not nutrients
✔️ Protein quality matters — especially essential amino acids like lysine
✔️ Balanced nutrition supports topline, hoof health, coat shine and everyday wellbeing
✔️ Balancers do not “cause weight gain” when fed correctly
For many good doers, a balanced diet is one of the best long-term investments you can make in their health 💜
