FAQs

What is the primary purpose of TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer?

To provide essential nutrients to horses and ponies needing weight control, are usually good-doers, and may be overweight.

Is this feed suitable for all horses?

No, it's particularly suited for horses and ponies that are good doers, tend to gain weight easily, or need a low-calorie diet. It's not intended for horses with high energy demands without additional feeding.

How should I feed this balancer?

Mix the balancer with your horse's usual feed or feed separately, following the recommended feeding guidelines based on the horse's weight and workload. Ensure fresh water is always available.

What are the benefits of the low starch and sugar content?

It helps manage weight and is suitable for horses with sensitivities to starch and sugar or those prone to metabolic issues.

How do I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness.

Can I feed this balancer with other supplements?

It is compatible with most other feeds. However, avoid over-supplementation. Consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist if you are unsure about combining with other supplements.

How often should I monitor my horse's weight?

Regularly assess your horse's body condition score, at least weekly or bi-weekly, and adjust the amount of balancer fed if the horse is gaining or losing weight.

What if my horse is not eating the balancer?

Try mixing the balancer with a small amount of a palatable feed or the horse's favorite feed. Ensure the product is fresh and stored properly.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating the balancer.

Try mixing the balancer with a small amount of a palatable feed, such as soaked beet pulp or a small amount of the horse's favorite feed. Ensure the balancer is fresh and stored correctly.

Horse is still gaining weight.

Reduce the amount of balancer fed or increase the horse's exercise level. Review the total calorie intake, including forage.
