Bailey's Local

[Gentle_Warrior]

Any opinions on it good or bad ?

I have been using it for the past few years with half scoop hi-fi lite, Cob x, gelding, 15.3 hh, 21 this May, Happy hacker, typical cob in the summer (smell grass and puts weight on), lives out 24/7, summer carefully managed weight by exercise and restricted grazing. This winter mixed with Baileys Top Line and speedi beet to maintian weight. (lost weight over the winter, which is good, mainly lack of muscle due to no work and rugless due to winter off)

Was thinking of changing so could do with other opinions on it. The cost of it sometimes bothers me, so just after opinions.

No personal experience but I've heard numerous times that Spiller's Light Balancer is cheaper and gives exactly the same results as Bailey's Lo-Cal

Been using it for years and periodically change to try something else, but each time, I go back after a few months as the difference in coat, condition and hooves is quite noticeable, so, for me, it's a small price to pay for a product that suits them so well.

I've found a huge difference using Topspec Lite - his barefoot hooves are the best they have ever been - BUT I can justify the £25 because that's all the hard feed he gets, and the bag lasts for ages.

I've been using baileys lo cal for years and the horses look good on it. Their coats are very shiny and they are in good condition and it doesn't appear to make them put weight on which is what I want for my good doers. It is pricey but seems to do the trick and cheaper than blue chip.

Baileys Lo-Cal and Spillers Lite are about the same, however agree with Shysmum that TopSpec Lite balancer out performs in respect of delivery of key nutrients. A comparison between TopSpec Lite and Lo-Cal here http://www.bow-wow-pets.co.uk/user/Comparing_Lite_Feed_Balancers.pdf
