Using Ration Balancers

Ration balancers can supplement vitamins and minerals if your horse isn’t getting it through his forage. A beet-pulp supplement provides fiber when there’s not enough in his forage or for an older horse that can’t chew well. The ready-made product is easier to store and prepare than making your own. Other brands also have specialized feeds for insulin-sensitive horses. Avoid treats high in sugar, including apples and carrots.
