Triple-action digestive supplement - Senior combines a high concentration of prebiotic MOS, probiotics and nucleotides to support and maintain digestive health. This combination has been proven to increase forage digestibility by up to 100% in a study conducted by Hartpury College. This concentrated formula is described as suitable for all – from the family pony to performance horse. It contains key ingredients to optimise gut function, combined with optimum nutritional supplement specification that balances a high-fibre, low-concentrate, or performance diet. This mix is formulated to provide easy-to-digest, non-heating calories that will provide a little more condition than a high-fibre, low-energy feed, while also delivering the extra nutrients he needs to stay looking and feeling good. Daily movement helps improve blood flow, and encourages good circulation, plus it is good for joint mobility and digestive health too. Triple-action calming supplement - Three active calming ingredients. Many horse owners can relate to calming supplements not always being effective, as horses react in different ways to different calmers. By including three methods of calming alongside a feed balancer, ensures higher likelihood of efficacy, and most owners will see a distinct change in behaviour.

Despite their popularity, many of us are still confused about feed balancers. Perhaps because of their differing formulations, such as pellets or mixes, they are easily confused with horse and pony nuts or compound mixes. Of course, they are neither – while balancers can be seen as supplementary feedstuffs, they are in a category all of their own. As stated by Blue Chip®, “Our company has ethical accreditation from The Ethical Company Organisation. We care about animal welfare, the environment and the community. This means we are the in the top 33% of ethically ranked companies in our sector, due to our good ethical standards.” Magnesium - often called the “calming mineral”, is included to keep ponies and horses calm and stress free. If supplementation is still your preferred choice Blue Chip have both a liquid (Joint RLF) and pelleted (Dynamic) joint supplement to add to your horse’s existing diet, depending on their exacting needs. A good quality feed balancer is a low-calorie, nutrient-rich blend, usually in pellet form. Formulations vary, but often include:
