I have a section c 8yr who can be quite highly strung he is becoming a lot better in his ridden work and would love to add a supplement or balancer to his morning feed he is only on happy hoof malasses free chaff
I feel he could do with something extra now he is in medium to high work
Any suggestions?

The Spillers range of balancers seem to be popular. I have my competition mare on the Spillers Original. Doesn't make her silly and she looks very well on it. Worth a look.

Thunderbrook daily essentials balancer is very good, it contains everything you could possibly need and it’s not super expensive either. It’s recommended by a lot of nutritionists x

Baileys LoCal balancer? Tiny pellets, cup of hot water and they turn into a mini-mash our Sec Ds find delightful....
actually prefer it solo, without any chop.

Blue Chip Calming?

They'd dropped off my radar a bit but having just swapped on to one of their balancers I'm really impressed with it:

I've used Blue Chip Calming Balancer and also their Karma for my highly strung (now retired) lad many moons ago - both times they worked wonders and meant that I could easily keep an eye on his weight without any issues :)
