The Balancer Range

3rd January 2024

The Balancer Range from Dodson & Horrell is made up of five feed balancers. It has been developed as the company continues to bring ground-breaking products to their customers.

What are Balancers?

Balancers are concentrated pellets providing essential nutrients and high-quality protein that meet the horse’s requirements in a low-calorie format. Feeding a consistent amount of balancer allows you to increase or decrease the calories and fibre that you add, without having to alter the feed completely, depending on the horse’s condition and workload.

Dodson & Horrell’s range of balancers offers customers a range of five different balancers to cater for every horse’s need. Each balancer contains a unique combination of optimal vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as supplements for hoof health, coat condition, digestive function, and mobility, depending on the balancer chosen.
