TopSpec Cool Balancer is designed for horses and ponies that need extra topline and condition and that are in light to medium work. Cool Balancer is a ‘Non-Heating’, cereal-grain-free formula; with low levels of sugar and starch, plus good quality protein to promote topline.
Designed For:
- Light to Medium working horses
- Horses needing to improve condition and topline
Features:
- A conditioning but ‘Non-Heating’ formula
- Many factors to help relax behaviour
- An expertly balanced broad-spectrum supplement
- Pure, protected yeast to promote forage digestion in the hindgut
- Organic chelated trace-elements for improved availability
- Maintenance levels of biotin, plus associated nutrients, to help support satisfactory hoof quality
- Factors to help maintain a healthy immune system
- very palatable
- very low levels of sugar and starch, the chance of excess sugars and starch overflowing from the foregut to the hindgut and causing a microbial imbalance leading to acidic conditions, is virtually eliminated
- Magnesium is included at 0.6% which will contribute 3g of magnesium per day to the diet of a 500kg horse. This may help some horses to concentrate better, particularly when stressed
How much to feed?
Quantities to be fed
Most TopSpec Feed Balancers should be fed at a rate of 100g balancer/100kg bodyweight daily. The following table will help you to decide how much to feed to your horses or ponies. (As a guide a half-pint mug holds approximately 200g of any TopSpec Feed Balancer). Please refer to the sack or to TopSpec’s Multiple Award Winning Helpline for feeding rates of TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer and TopSpec Racing Feed Balancer as they are fed at higher rates.

Important points
- As with all new feeds TopSpec products should always be introduced gradually over a period of four days, starting with approximately one quarter of the amount you intend to feed by day four. TopSpec feed balancers can be fed with forage alone or with your choice of straights/blends and/or compound feeds
- The diet of sweating horses must be supplemented with additional salt, especially if feed intake is low. All horses should have access to a salt-lick 24/7 but common table salt should be added to the feed of sweating horses daily
- Keep an eye on the horse’s condition as feeding TopSpec Feed Balancers with other hard feeds means over a period of 4-6 weeks you may need to reduce the other hard feed
- In most cases do not add feed supplements within TopSpec Feed Balancers. Additives e.g. TopSpec Calmer, TopSpec 10:10 Joint Support, TopSpec Electrolytes can be added if required
- We are frequently asked if garlic can be fed with TopSpec, the answer is yes, for any herb
