Product Information

Full details

Mobility Horslyx is designed for horse owners seeking to support their horse's joint function and overall mobility. It offers a palatable, trickle-feed solution that balances nutritional deficiencies in forage and grazing, while providing key ingredients for joint health. A potential caveat is that it is a supplement and should be used alongside a balanced diet and appropriate forage.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Mobility Horslyx?

The primary benefit is supporting healthy joint function and mobility through ingredients like Glucosamine HCI and MSM, while also providing a balanced nutritional supplement for forage and grazing.

How much Mobility Horslyx should my horse consume?

Horses typically consume 500g per day for every 250kg of bodyweight when fed as directed alongside good quality forage. However, individual consumption can vary.

Can I feed this to a horse with laminitis?

Mobility Horslyx is a low-sugar formulation, but it is always recommended to consult with your veterinarian or a qualified equine nutritionist before introducing any new feed supplement to a horse with specific health conditions like laminitis.

Does this replace the need for hard feed?

When fed alongside adequate good quality forage, Mobility Horslyx can reduce or eliminate the need for traditional hard feeds. However, it is crucial to ensure all other nutritional requirements are met.

What is MSM?

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic compound that provides sulfur, a key component of connective tissues, including cartilage and joint structures. It works with glucosamine to support joint health and flexibility.

How long does a 15kg tub last?

The duration depends on the size of the horse and its consumption rate. For a 500kg horse consuming approximately 1kg per day, a 15kg tub would last about 15 days.

Can multiple horses share one tub?

Yes, Mobility Horslyx can be shared among horses, provided they are housed together. Using a shared holder in a communal area is common practice.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not licking the product

Ensure the product is fresh and has not been contaminated. Try moving the lick to a more prominent or convenient location. Some horses may require a short introduction period. Ensure there are no other, more palatable feed sources competing for attention.

Horse consuming the lick too quickly

If a horse is consuming the lick at a rate faster than recommended, ensure it is securely placed in a Horslyx Holder. Consider placing it in a location that requires slightly more effort to access or sharing it among a group of horses to slow consumption.

Lick appears wet or sticky

This can happen in humid conditions or if exposed to rain. Allow the lick to dry out completely before offering it to the horse. Ensure it is protected from the elements if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports healthy joint function and mobility.
  • Provides essential nutrients to supplement forage and grazing.
  • Encourages natural trickle feeding behavior.
  • Includes antioxidants for immune system support.
  • A palatable and easy-to-use supplement.

Cons

  • Primarily a supplement; not a replacement for a complete diet.
  • Requires a Horslyx Holder for optimal use.
  • The 15kg size may be large for individual horses or limited space.
  • Horses with a very high feed intake may consume it rapidly, requiring monitoring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Mobility Horslyx is designed to be used with a dedicated Horslyx Holder, which is sold separately. The lick is typically placed in the holder and secured in the horse's stable, field shelter, or pasture. Ensure the holder is stable and cannot be tipped over.

Compatibility:

This product is designed to be fed alongside good quality forage (hay or haylage) and grazing. It is a supplement and should not be fed as a sole source of nutrition. It is compatible with most compound feeds, but always ensure a balanced diet. Avoid feeding with other high-level supplements containing Glucosamine or MSM without consulting a nutritionist or veterinarian.

Care:

  • Keep the lick clean and free from debris.
  • If the lick becomes wet, allow it to dry before returning it to the horse.
  • Store unused licks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests.
  • Regularly check the Horslyx Holder for wear and tear and ensure it is securely fastened.
  • Monitor your horse's intake. If consumption is excessive, consider moving the lick to an area where consumption can be managed or reducing the number of horses sharing a lick.
