How to feed Horslyx
The licks should be fed in a trickle feed style in either the field or stable in order to be as natural as possible. Allowing them to have free access means that your horse can choose when they require their vitamins and minerals, although they should be introduced gradually to prevent him from over consuming when first offered. Alternatively, a lick can be offered at times that may otherwise be stressful, for example during clipping, or can be given as a reward whilst stretching for instance.
Horslyx Original
Suitable for all horses from those at rest requiring a low calorie diet, to the performance horse requiring additional supplementation. The original balancer removes the need for buckets of hard feed, saving you money in the long run. Containing linseed oil that is rich in Omega-3 for skin and coat, Biotin for strong hooves, and protein for muscle development, the original balancer is a great place to start.
Horslyx Mint
Perfect for fussy feeders, the Mint balancer is packed with all the goodness of the original lick, whilst providing a cool, refreshing flavour. The added antioxidants also provide support for the immune system for all round health and vitality.
Horslyx Garlic
Containing pure garlic oil, Horslyx Garlic has been proven to provide a natural and effective way of combatting biting insects. The high sulphur compounds in garlic are released through the skin via sweat which repels flies, and in turn helps to reduce irritability and improve manageability.
Horslyx Respiratory
Designed to provide a two-pronged approach in supporting a healthy respiratory system with ingredients that both help to clear the airways as well as maintaining immunity. The key ingredients include menthol, eucalyptus and aniseed which keep airways clear of mucus for easy breathing. The added Vitamin C also helps improve the lining of the airways.
Horslyx Mobility
Ideal for maintaining healthy joints and reducing stiffness in horses of all ages and breeds. Mobility contains added glucosamine as an essential component of ligaments, tendons, cartilage and synovial fluid to aid in the lubrication and cushioning of joints during movement. MSM is also included to support the connective tissue and maintain mobility, flexibility and range of motion.
Horslyx Pro Digest
Containing a combination of ingredients that supports the digestive system from the stomach to the hind gut, Pro Digest is suitable for any horse but is particularly aimed at those prone to digestive upsets. The added slippery elm and seaweed meal contain mucilage which absorbs moisture in the stomach to form a protective layer against acid. The prebiotic and probiotics also help flush out pathogens and stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria to improve digestive comfort. The spiced apple flavouring is also the perfect way to tempt fussy feeders!
