Feeding balancers

[curiousclover]

Hello.
I'm looking at changing the balancer my horse is on. She's now on box rest for the next few months and no longer needing baileys performance balancer and looking for something a bit more basic. I'm looking at Spillers daily balancer to swap onto, what is everyone's experience on this?
Are there any out there that are low in sugar and starch ideal for box rest.
Thanks in advance!

I feed the powdered type like progressive earth or forage plus so no extra fillers and calories to worry about as mine are good doers.

Mine get the spillers one. They do well on it, I fed it throughout box rest to my welshie too.

Forageplus winter balancer has the right mix for mine

And no added iron.

there's a few commercial balancers that have no added iron now. Spillers is one of them

I use spillers lite and lean for some of mine that don’t like powders and progressive earth for the others

Sorry to jump on your thread! What exactly do balancers do and are they better than multiple supplements? X
