If you’re not sure what to feed your horse through the summer months – most horses don’t need a lot of hard feed but you do need to make sure they are receiving all their vitamins and minerals. Feeding Horslyx provides you with a cost effective, time saving and low calorie solution to ensure your horse is getting a balanced diet.

Horslyx has been carefully formulated to provide all the necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements your horse needs to keep him in great condition inside and out. Even when the grass is plentiful, your horse may not be receiving all the essential nutrients he needs to stay looking and feeling good and it is necessary to balance the deficiencies found in hay, haylage and grass. For horses out at grass, weatherproof Horslyx is the perfect solution to ensure a well rounded diet without adding extra calories or causing aggressive behaviour in the field with buckets of food.

Hard ground and dry weather can be hard on the hooves so every single tub of Horslyx contains their unique ‘healthy hooves’ package, containing biotin, zinc and methionine together with a high oil content for a glossy coat. Competitions and travelling can leave some horses stressed and low, so the optimum levels of anti-oxidants help to boost and maintain a strong immune system.

When fed alongside the correct amounts of good quality forage, Horslyx removes the need for feeding hard feed and during the summer months when weight gain can be a problem, Horslyx provides a balanced diet with minimal calories and is the perfect solution to all horses, including laminitics, whether stabled or out at grass.

Horslyx is available in four formulations so you can provide targeted, balanced nutrition in just one tub. Garlic Horslyx helps deter biting insects from the inside out making it ideal for the warm season. Respiratory Horslyx contains menthol and eucalyptus to help horses cope with a compromised respiratory system – particularly useful in the summer when dust and pollen can cause irritation. Mobility Horslyx contains optimum amounts of MSM and Glucosamine to support healthy joint function, whilst Original Horslyx simply balances and offers all round nutritional support.

Horslyx is available in 5kg tubs starting at around £9 and 15kg tubs staring at around £20. For further information tel: 01697  332592 or visit www.horslyx.com
