Ration balancers are one of the most commonly recommended feeds in the horse world but what are they really doing, and does your horse actually need one?

If your horse is living on pasture or hay looking good and maintaining weight, it’s easy to assume their diet is “complete”. In reality, many diets fall short in key nutrients that support long-term health, topline, and performance. The effects of these deficiencies may not show up for a long time.

In this episode, we break down what ration balancers are, how they work, where they fit into your horse’s feeding program, and some of the most common misconceptions we see.

We discuss:
-What a ration balancer is and how it differs from other feeds and supplements
-Why forage-only diets are often missing key nutrients
-The role of protein, minerals, and vitamins in balancing the diet
-Ration balancer vs. ration-balancing supplements: what’s the difference
-When you may need to add a ration balancer to other feeds that you are feeding
-And so much more

Whether you’re feeding a performance horse, an easy keeper, or anything in between, this episode will help you better understand how to support your horse’s nutrition without adding unnecessary calories.
