What is a balancer and does my horse need one?’ is a common SPILLERS™ Care-Line query, so to help horse owners get to grips with all things balancer the SPILLERS team has organised a special SPILLERS Balancer Week from 5-9 September 2022. It includes a daily giveaway to win a bag of SPILLERS Balancer.

During SPILLERS Balancer Week the nutrition team will be providing daily balancer facts, tips and advice, as well as addressing all the common balancer questions, with new posts each day on social media and new blogs on the SPILLERS website. In addition they will be offering 1-2-1 nutrition support and advice via email or phone.

The team will also be addressing some of the lesser-known facts about balancers such as why a senior balancer doesn’t just have to be for seniors.

Here’s an example: Fran McCormack recently contacted the SPILLERS Care-Line for advice on feeding her 21-year-old New Forest mare and her eight-year-old gelding who is being brought back into work following treatment for bone spavins. Both are good doers.

“I knew that as good doers, Saffron and Tarragon didn’t need any extra calories in their diets,” said Fran. “But I was worried about them not getting enough vitamins and minerals and other nutrients if I didn’t give them a bucket feed. With limited storage space at my livery yard, I ideally wanted one feed to suit both horses.

“The SPILLERS Care-Line nutritionist said a balancer would provide extra nutritional support but without unwanted calories. She advised that one specially formulated for seniors would be a good choice for both horses; the added digestive and immune support would help Saffron as she ages, while the glucosamine, MSM and omega 3 included in the balancer would help support Tarragon’s joints. I opted for SPILLERS Supple & Senior Balancer and both my horses are doing really well on it.”

Check out SPILLERS Balancer Week from 5-9 September at www.spillers-feeds.com and feel free to submit any questions via the SPILLERS Care-Line on + 44 (0)1908 226626 or via the website.
