About this deal

Re magnesium calmers, personally I do not find them very effective as the vast majority of horses in the UK are not deficient (aside from the two groups mentioned above). A triptophan based product is much more likely to bring results, as can cutting out starch and feeding a probiotic.

Feeding should be about keeping it simple, which is why feed balancers are such a wonderful concept. They offer a wide range of benefits in a single, concentrated pellet and, for the horse in light to medium work, can simply be added to the basic forage diet.

Special offers and product promotions

We would always advise horseowners to keep their feeding programmes as simple as possible and stay with a regime that suits them and their horse. As indicated by its title, this feed balancer is carefully designed to promote a calm and consistent temperament, through its balance of natural herbs and ingredients which include Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Rosemary among others. Skin and coat - Calming has added levels of oils and organic zinc. This includes soya oil and linseed oil, natural, vegetable sources of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Combined with organic zinc, the oils ensure healthy, scurf-free skin and a glossy, gleaming coat.

It is therefore important to understand what you are feeding when considering a combination of nutritional supplements, compound feeds and feed balancers particularly if the horse is in harder work.Designed to provide a high density hit of nutrients from a small sprinkle of pellets, balancers combine high levels of vitamins, minerals and proteins with a low calorie count, ensuring that your horse is primed with sufficient energy even when the grass is a little low or their activity level is a little higher than usual. The primary reason for combining a calmer and a feed balancer is that stress and digestion have a symbiotic relationship; stress can cause digestive issues, and digestive issues can cause stress. The probiotics in the balancer restore the natural balance of the gut flora and help to maintain the natural well-being of the digestive system, allowing optimum utilisation of the carefully formulated combination of vitamins, minerals and nutrients present in all the Blue Chip Balancers. Whole grain and molasses free. L-tryptophan - Karma is enhanced with L-tryptophan. This essential amino acid is required for the formation of proteins and some hormones, including serotonin. Serotonin is the ‘feel-good’, ‘anti-stress’ hormone.

What are Super Concentrated Balancers? A highly nutrient dense, pelleted functional balancer range, formulated to be fed in a small quantity to support weight management, alongside a fibre based diet as nature intended. Manufactured with the same high quality protein, vitamins, minerals, nutrients and probiotics as the rest of the Blue Chip Balancer range. Double-action digestive supplement - In addition to the active calmers listed above, a double-action digestive supplement will settle the digestive system ensuring horses feel comfortable and relaxed. Calming balancer combines a high concentration of probiotics with nucleotides. This supplement is proven to increase forage digestibility by up to 100% in a study conducted by Hartpury College.

Customer reviews

Naturally low in both sugar and starch, this balancer is particularly popular with those whose horses suffer from regular indigestion, or who are facing a period of change where the temperament of the horse may be tested.

The equine feeding industry has been big business for many years. Continual technological breakthroughs mean improved formulations and a wider choice of products. Magnesium - often called the “calming mineral”, is included to keep ponies and horses calm and stress free.

We value your privacy

PrimoVento - A complete respiratory supplement with antioxidants, menthol, eucalyptus and garlic to soothe the airways and maintain lung health and integrity. It is the ideal balancer for performance ponies/horses with elevated levels of protein, vitamins and minerals to support performance, growth and health. Blue Chip Calming - a feed balancer with added calming supplements, removing the need for additional supplementation, saving you money, and ensuring your pony/horse receives the necessary nutrients whilst staying stress free. If owners opt for the highest possible specification of feed and then use it with other ready-balanced feeds and vitamin and mineral supplements, they could push the horse’s nutritional balance over the edge, potentially causing toxicity. Balancers help to keep things simple
