How much do you spend on balancers? Did you know that Total Eclipse costs half the amount of most other balancers? It does not have any bulkers or fillers so you do not need to use very much and a 15kg sack will last an average horse 4 whole months. All functional ingredients saves you money!
Simple System Ltd not only saves you money but we are planet friendly, too. Many feeds have a long list of ingredients, which have to be shipped in from all corners of the globe. Some, such as soya, are grown in hot climates, replacing the natural rain forest vegetation and some will have had many journeys as they go through different process in different places. We source our feeds as far as possible in the UK and a typical journey is from the farm to our store and then on to you!
In the wild, with unrestricted access to pasture, horses would spend the summer “stocking up†by eating nutritious grass - and plenty of it - to aid them in building a thick coat and laying down excess weight...
Horses’ teeth change throughout their lives - they are continually growing and continually wearing, as they chew and grind their grazing and forage.
Grass has the potential to grow all year, which is different from many other plants. Certain things are necessary for this growth, but if they are not met, the grass will be dormant, waiting for conditions to improve.Â
