Horslyx Mobility Vit & Min Balancer [size: 5kg]

Horslyx Mobility Vitamin & Mineral Balancer combines glucosamine hydrochloride, methyl sulphonyl methane (MSM) and omega oils with a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Feeding directions

Introduce Horslyx gradually and monitor consumption.

Target daily intake

• Pony around 300kg: 200g per day

• Horse around 500kg: 250g per day

At these rates, a 5kg Horslyx lasts approximately:

• 25 days for a 300kg pony

• 17 days for a 700kg horse

Use the Horslyx 5kg Balancer Holder and its restrictor grill where additional intake management is required.

It provides nutritional support for healthy joints, connective tissues, mobility and flexibility while supplying vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Which joint-support ingredients does it contain?

The formula contains glucosamine hydrochloride, methyl sulphonyl methane and omega oils derived from vegetable oils, including linseed oil.

Does Horslyx publish the amount of glucosamine and MSM?

The current product information lists glucosamine hydrochloride and MSM in the composition but does not state their individual amounts per kilogram. No specific quantities should be added to the page unless confirmed from current Australian packaging.

Is Horslyx Mobility Balancer a treatment for arthritis?

No. It is a complementary nutritional feed and is not a treatment for arthritis, joint injury or lameness. Horses showing pain, swelling, heat, stiffness or altered movement should be assessed by a veterinarian.

Has the product been researched?

Horslyx reports a small independent study involving six Thoroughbred horses. The results suggested an improvement in stride length, but the small sample means this should be regarded as preliminary evidence rather than proof of a clinical effect.

What is the difference between the 650g and 5kg sizes?

The 650g Mini is intended to be offered from the hand as a treat, reward or distraction. The 5kg size is designed for controlled or continuous access as a nutritional balancer, with intake monitored against the recommended rate.

How should I introduce it?

Begin by allowing approximately 10 minutes of access daily for the first week. Increase access gradually while monitoring intake. A Horslyx 5kg Balancer Holder with restrictor grill can help manage consumption.

How much sugar does it contain?

The published analysis lists sugar, expressed as sucrose, at 33%. Obtain veterinary or equine nutrition advice before feeding it to horses requiring tightly controlled sugar intake.

Can it be fed with another joint supplement?

Check the combined ingredients before using multiple products. Seek advice from a veterinarian or equine nutritionist where another supplement contains glucosamine, MSM, vitamins or trace minerals.
