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.

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.
