Top Spec or Blue Chip

[sally678]

Just wondering which is best for 16.1hh IDX that needs a bit more weight this time of year. What does everybody else use??

 

[spaniel]

Having used both in my time I would go for the Top Spec - the balancer and the condition flakes.

my ID does well on blue chip (lami light) but if you need gain a bit of weight sumo is good about £15 a bag i used to use it on a tb that came to me for a bit of weight gain.

I dont like blue chip as it gave my friends horse colic,even after she introduced it slowly.

Used both for about 6 months to see what happened, Top Spec won hands down, his coat is amazing and hoofs are fab! (And its a bit cheaper too, well worth a try.

I have had horses colic on TS for that matter, and also seen some serious behavioural issues on it. Never had colic in same horses on the BC

Top spec, cheaper, lower in Starch, grain free and my horse looks fab on it

Highly recommend it.

I've never used Top Spec, I've used Blue Chip for quite a while & I'm happy with it & horse looks great.

Blue chip, my mare turned her nose up at top spec before she had had half a bag.

Do TS and BC give samples as my horse is pretty fussy and I would like to try them before I buy. Sounds very confusing though about which to choose!

Top Spec Balancer has been shown in independent test to be the most comprehensive balancer on the market time and time again.

If you phone Nicola Tyler at Top Spec I am sure she will send you some samples out. Don't know about Blue Chip as never used them.

Top Spec, definitely. Moved onto this from Blue Chip in the summer and most impressed with results. Only animals that have turned their noses up at it are the dog and cats (who used to go mad for Blue Chip when I was making up feeds!).

And of course Top Spec is cheaper too!

 

[kembryon]

How much is a bag of top spec please?

 

[PennyJ]

Ha, my dog likes BC as well! (but doesn't like the lami light version)

 

[lisan]

Topspec is £28.50 at my local saddlery, got mine on low-cal at the mo, thats just under £19 a bag!

I found that Blue chip was TOO conditioning (made her fat) and Top Spec made very little difference.

Baileys no17 was like Rocket Fuel but we are doing just fine on Spillers Condition cubes and Naf Pink Powder. Great compbination.
