good quality linseed free balancer

[SEL]

I thought I was doing the right thing adding micronised linseed into the PSSM horse's diet but it turns out her stomach can't handle it. She now can't handle it in anything - not her joint supplement, nor her balancer.

The forage plus winter balancer made such a huge improvement to her feet that I don't really want to give up on balancers, but most of the powder ones seem to have linseed in them. Any other recommendations?

We also can't do soya, alfalfa, turmeric or msm.

Have you tried Progressive Earth balancers?

Thank you - I thought they were one of the companies that used linseed as a base, but I'm wrong!

might be worth talking to these too, though no issue with pro earth either (and they send sweets ) I think they also make up to spec so if they do use it they could leave it out .

But does she send chocolate with the order??!

Ha that does always make me chuckle- we are all low sugaring our horses etc and then we get a curlywurly

The irony hadn't escaped me either, but the recent Oreo bar was delicious! Yum.

Chocolate? Well that's a done deal then!

(horse on low sugar diet so I make up for it in crunchie bars)

I'll drop them a line - I've actually used them before for a herbal eye supplement which turned out to be a miracle cure for watery eyes. Didn't even think about looking at their products for a general balancer. They'd have to leave out the brewers yeast, but if she makes them up from scratch then that would be a lot easier.

Thank you!!

I've not used them myself but quite a few barefooters seem to and seem very happy - which is where I think I have heard about them doing bespoke stuff too.

Of course you could just get mixing yourself though beware your kitchen might look like a drug den with the white powders about the place

The yard already think I'm snorting something dodgy after a bit of a magnesium incident the other week....
