TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer is designed for horses and ponies that are good doers. It is ideal for horses that are overweight when fed as part of a calorie-controlled diet.
This cereal-grain-free, low-sugar and starch, non-heating, high-fibre formula contains a considered level of protein to help maintain muscle function without promoting body condition. It allows horses and ponies to receive all the micronutrients required to balance the diet of those in light to medium work in a small amount of exceptionally low-calorie feed. It is palatable enough to be fed on its own or with a little TopChop Lite.
Long term trials have shown that horses and ponies on restricted or poor grazing do not gain any additional weight when fed this balancer. It can be used successfully as part of a calorie-controlled diet when weight loss is required and is suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
