Thunderbrook -v- Topspec Antilam

[SCG]

I'm just coming to the end of my linseed, brewers yeast, magnesium, yea-sacc, metabolyte gold etc assortment that I feed to my good doer with a scoop of ossi-chaff and would like to try an "all-in-one" feed to save alot of faffing about adding a bit of this and a bit of that. I'm trying to decide between the Thunderbrook Essentials Base Mix which I've heard great things about or the Topspec Antilam which I believe is equally good. Any suggestions welcome

I haven't used both or done a proper comparison of vits & mins etc so my opinion isn't really terribly useful. However I've used TS AntiLam for years & think it's a fantastic product, I can't recommend it highly enough.

I think Top Spec anti lam has a really good profile, but I've heard that quite a few laminitics have gone footy on it, which would make me watch if yours is laminitic just in case.

I don't know much about Thunderbrook, but I think it's quite high in starch?

I find Benevit or Lo cal are decent (cheaper) alternatives if that's any help.

Should just add that Thunderbrook won't provide samples of their food. They only offer a 5kg Trial bag costing £9.50. Expensive if, like mine, yours mightn't eat it

I'd stick with Topspec. It's got a good reputation and they'll let you have a sample to try so you can see what you're getting before you commit and be sure your horse will eat it

I've not used Topspec but have just swapped to Thunderbrook, was a little worried as one of mine can be a bit fussy but they're licking their bowls totally clean. Give Debbie a ring and have a chat with her about what's in it/suitability etc.

neither!

Oops sorry, forgot I started this thread as have had other more pressing concerns of late Oh its such a minefield isn't it? Spyda, where did you see that Thunderbook do a 5kg bag for £9.50? Can't see this on their website, nearest thing is 10kg bag for £19 which is too expensive if ned doesn't like it. LucyPriory, what do you recommend then? Or stick with what I'm already feeding?
