Why Salt Blocks?
Animals have sought salt since the beginning of time, gathering at salt licks to satisfy their need for salt. Many New Zealand soils and pastures are naturally low in available sodium, and the use of certain fertilisers, such as Potash, may accelerate the leaching process.

​Sodium deficiencies are manifested as abnormal licking or chewing of wood, soil and sweat of other animals and may be accompanied by a decline in growth rates and/or milk production.

Common Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential constituent of animal diet. Because many New Zealand pastures are deficient in sodium some form of supplementation is often necessary. For instance, lactating cows need a daily minimum of 20gms of sodium chloride, dry cattle a minimum of 10gms and sheep a minimum of 2gms.

Sodium is routinely expelled from the body in milk, urine, faeces, sweat and saliva. Sodium should be available to farm animals every day and because of this, is a convenient carrier of other minerals.
​
Salt may be one of the most cost effective methods of increasing production.
Sodium in some form should be available at all times all year round
Dairy cows’ salt requirements significantly increase when lactating, as large amounts of sodium are excreted in milk
Young animals in rapid growth need sodium for new tissue formation
When sodium is deficient, appetite is suppressed
Trials prove Summit® Salt Blocks last nearly 4 times longer than loose rock salt and require twice as much rainfall before broken down by the elements.
Compact 20kg Summit® Salt Blocks are easy to stack, handle and dispense.

Elements:
New Zealand dairy cows grazing pasture are most susceptible to deficiencies of cobalt, copper, iodine, and selenium.
Zinc supplementation is also important for immunity and hoof health.
Trace mineral deficiencies may induce problems such as abortions, retained placentas, mastitis, and infertility.

Apple Cider Vinegar 

The Benefits of Feeding Your Horse Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

1. Improve digestion and balance PH levels in your horse

Apple Cider Vinegar works to acidify the horse’s stomach for better digestion, cleansing the digestic tract.  It can also aid in the absorption of minerals and helps balance the acid/alkaline ratio which is essential for good health.  ACV can work as a natural anti-biotic, and can discourage parasites and water-borne diseases.  Apple Cider Vinegar also contains anti-oxidants, which are vital to protect the horse’s body from free radicals which can cause a lot of damage.

2. Ease Arthritis symptoms & help with joint movement and muscle function

Both horses and humans have benefited from ACV to help control the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.  It can help break down acid crystals, which can build up in joints and cause your horse tissue stiffness and soreness. 

3. Natural Insect Control

By feeding your horse or pony ACV daily in their feed, it causes higher levels of thiamine (vitamin B) to be excreted through their skin, which discourages biting insects such as flies and mosquitos. 

You can also make your own fly repellant by mixing together 2 cups ACV, 1 cup water, 1 cup bath oil and 2 teaspoons of citronella.  Simply mix well and spray over the horse’s coat for a natural fly repellent!

4. Mane and Tail Conditioner

Condition your horse’s mane and tail naturally by adding 1 cup of ACV to a bucket of water for the final rinse after washing your horse’s tail.  Use a spray bottle for the mane with the same quantities of water and ACV.  This will leave your horse’s mane and tail incredibly soft and smooth and will remove any soap residue.

VetPro CR3 Chromium Slim

Crested necks and fatty rump pads are signs of obesity which has serious health implications.  

It has been shown that CR3 Slim can reduce the fat deposits (converting them to muscle).

CR3 Slim can be a key part in a range of solutions for overweight horses and ponies.

Daily Dose Rate:
• Performance Horses (500kg): 15gm (1 level scoop)

Horslyx Mobility Balancer

Horslyx Mobility Balancer can be used to help maintain healthy joints in all horses, of all ages and breeds, whether for a performance horse that requires support for hard working joints, or as an aid for older horses that may have suffered from wear and tear over the years.

Independent research was conducted at the University of Central Lancashire using 6 Thoroughbred horses based at the Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre. This independent university research clearly demonstrated that Mobility Balancer can help reduce joint stiffness in otherwise clinically sound horses and when used regularly will help maintain healthy supple joints and allow mobility and flexibility for comfortable movement. Details on the research can be found here.

As with all Horslyx Balancers, Mobility Balancer is extremely low in starch, making it suitable for horses which can react unfavourably to traditional cereal based diets.

Why should I feed Horslyx Mobility Balancer?

To help performance horses that may be prone to stiffness before, during and/or after exercise.

For competition horses that require support for hard working joints.

As an aid for older horses that may have suffered from wear and tear over the years.

To help maintain healthy joints in all active horses, of all ages and breeds.

For horses that are stabled for long periods of time, Mobility Balancer may help lessen the chance of stiffness from lack of movement.

To balance any nutrient deficiencies in forage and grazing – helping to ensure your horse stays healthy and happy all year round.

When fed alongside the correct amounts of good quality forage, Mobility Balancer removes the need for buckets of hard feed and is cost effective and so will save you money.

Licking takes time and patience, which is perfect for horses that are stabled for long periods of time and can help reduce stress and boredom.

Licking enhances saliva production, which helps support the digestive system.

How To Dose

If symptoms have appeared, dose for 2-3 weeks or until healing is complete and the scabs have fallen off leaving clear healthy skin underneath. As a preventative, start dosing once a week as soon as the rainy season starts. Keep an eye on your horse’s legs and at the first sign of any trouble, increase dosing to twice daily for 7-10 days to return the skin to its normal healthy state. Reducing dose frequency when symptoms aren’t present will avoid desensitisation to this remedy.

NPC Opti-HOOF

High strength biotin for horse hooves boosting hoof growth for harder, stronger hoof less prone to snapping, brittleness and damage.

Biotin is a proven key nutrient for better hoof and hair quality.

Horses naturally manufacture B group vitamins in the hindgut, biotin being one of these.

However, horses that do not receive enough fibre or for other reasons don’t digest well simply do not make enough naturally to maintain the optimum level to support hoof integrity.

Many horses with poor quality hooves benefit from being fed high strength biotin as a supplement into feed.

This super strength biotin for horse hooves is a concentrate powder requiring just 1 gram daily, providing the daily requirement of 15 mg.

This can also be used at 2 grams delivering 30 mg.

Opti-HOOF biotin for hooves is the best hoof supplement for horses that have a good diet but poor hoof quality.  

It is a vitamin that the horse requires for healthy hooves and hoof growth, so yes it really does work!

Opti-hoof biotin is recommended by veterinarians and farriers as part of a healthy hoof care regime for encouraging better hoof quality.

Opti-hoof is also a proven nutrient to encourage hard hooves and more durable sole.

It promotes healthy new hoof growth from the coronet down and a hoof more resilient to wear, brittleness and chipping whilst helping to build a stronger, thicker sole.

Research shows some horses don’t digest well and as a result don’t produce enough biotin naturally (despite adequate fibre).

Research also shows that adding biotin back to the diet can drastically improve hoof health.

Research shows results begin to show in 6 weeks of feeding and should be continued for horses with a history of poor hoof quality.

Biotin is recommended where the diet is generally good (contains adequate protein, fibre and other vitamins and minerals).

By adding biotin, you are putting back what the horse is not making naturally.

Some breeds are also noted for poor hoof quality and may need ongoing supplementation to maintain hoof integrity.

Also see Opti-Min if your diet is lacking in other minerals due to low feed rations, poor grass quality or restricted pasture access.

Opti-HOOF is an effective low dose biotin hoof concentrate providing nutritional support to hooves.
