I know it is varied but what are your favourites?
I am currently feeding the mole valley one but wondering if there are any ones that are better.
Same goes for biotin +
They seem very happy and well on it I must add.

I’ve fed forageplus for years (summer / winter versions, performance, working young horse). Having had my own grass tested, forageplus are clued up on the stats of UK grass and making sure not just to include the recommended amounts for horses, but making sure they’re in balance for UK grass, or else they’re sometimes useless where the levels prohibit absorption of others etc. Always very helpful and educated to deal with too.
I contacted feedmark about their benefit having had some questions about the levels and the response was vague and didn’t quite understand what I was getting at. Will be sticking to forageplus - both currently on the summer performance balancer with a bit of extra added natural vitamin e until the grass comes in nicely.

Progressive Earth over winter - though just switched to Feedmark Benevit for summer mainly because I got it at a good price.

I’m currently feeding Equimins Tip Top supplement. It’s super concentrated so I just add a little scoop full to his chaff and speedibeet everyday. He looks well on it and it’s quite cost effective too - one of the reasons for switching as I used to feed Baileys and then Topspec but the prices were just getting more and more expensive!!

Beware, there's very little Selenium in this one. My mare was on it when she was diagnosed with Selenium deficiency.

Hi all. I am going to go with the progression earth pro balance basic.
I was wondering if you all had any experience with their vegetarian glucosamine, it says it’s from a fungal source which rings alarm bells but it’s probably fine given it’s beta nops accreditations

In as far as Bon is fit, healthy with good feet and coat quality I've experienced nothing that has caused any concerns.
They're pretty quick to respond if you ask them anything though

I have been using equilibra 500, interested to hear what people think.
It was one I could get without nasties in, he won’t eat powders.
I’ve used this for 3 years as it doesn’t have soya or alfalfa which don’t suit my horse. He looks really well, so no reason to change currently.
