1 January 2006

Where you and your horse both want to be.

Specially designed for...

  • Overweight Horses
  • Easy Keepers
  • Miniatures and Ponies
  • Horses on All-Forage Diets

Life is good when you and your horse are healthy—and together. But you don’t get there by chance. And you don’t get there when your horse is overweight or missing the essential nutrients it requires for a healthy, well-balanced diet.

Balance is the key. And that’s particularly true of overweight horses, easy keepers and horses on all-forage diets. With the new LiteBalance™ controlled-calorie formula, you can help put the right nutritional balance back in your horse’s life.

Overweight Horses. If your horse is overweight, it’s time to weigh in on a heavy subject. The American Association of Equine Practitioners reports that excess weight puts a strain on virtually every system in your horse’s body—and can be hazardous to your horse’s health: Increased stress on heart and lungs; more strain on feet, joints and limbs; greater risk of laminitis or founder; insulin resistance; overheating; lethargy and fatigue.

LiteBalance™ is the ideal weight management formula for overweight horses. The LiteBalance™ formula is rich in essential with guaranteed amino acid levels, highly digestible fiber and a complete vitamin/mineral package. All balanced with only 3% fat and less calories.

Easy Keepers: Full-Size Horses, Miniatures and Ponies. If your horse is an easy keeper on a maintenance or light exercise diet, you’ll love what the LiteBalance™ controlled-calorie formula can do for you—and your horse. This advanced controlled-calorie formula is specially designed as a weight management formula to help satisfy your horse’s nutritional requirements—and appetite, too. No more feeling guilty about “starvation diets”. And no more cutting back on the essential nutrients your horse requires for a healthy, balanced meal.

Controlling calories and meeting your horse’s nutritional needs is the key to good health and nutrition for your easy keeper. With LiteBalance™ controlled-calorie formula, that key is in your hands.

Horses on All-Forage Diets. Looks can be deceiving. If your horse is on an all-forage diet (hay or pasture), it may not be enough. Forages vary widely in their nutritional values and seldom provide all of the nutrients your hose requires for optimum health and nutrition. Time of year, growing conditions, forage mix, even the time of day can affect the nutritional values in forages of every kind.

LiteBalance™ controlled-calorie formula is rich in the micronutrients that are so often missing or inadequate in forages. That’s what makes supplemental feeding with LiteBalance™ horse feed so important for horses on all-hay or pasture diets.

The LiteBalance™ Formula. For balanced nutrition with less calories, LiteBance™ controlled-calorie formula has your number:

  1. Highly palatable controlled-calorie design with high nutrient levels for a nutritionally balanced diet when fed with adequate hay or forage.
  2. Guaranteed amino acid levels to ensure proper balance for muscle maintenance and body condition.
  3. Enhanced selenium, vitamin E and vitamin C levels to support your horse’s immune system and provide anti-oxidant benefits.
  4. Added biotin and methionine to support hoof and hair growth.
  5. Added yeast culture and direct fed microbials to support digestion.
  6. Carefully formulated levels of calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc for proper bone condition.
  7. Organic trace mineral complexes, including selenium, to provide a highly bioavailable source of critical nutrients for metabolic functions.
