TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer

Introduction

TopSpec Lite is designed for horses and ponies that need their weight controlled; they are usually gooddoers and may be overweight. These are the horses and ponies for whom every single calorie counts, and we do not believe you will find a lower calorie feed balancer anywhere.

Lite is a ‘Non-Heating,’ cereal-grain-free, formula; with low levels of starch and sugar, and a considered level of protein to help maintain muscle function but avoid promoting body condition.

It is very important that this group of horses and ponies receive their full requirement of vitamins and minerals. TopSpec Lite allows them to receive all the micronutrients required to balance the diet of horses in light to medium work in a small amount of exceptionally low-calorie feed.

TopSpec Lite will help maintain excellent health whilst greatly improving hoof quality and promoting a supple skin and an exceptionally shiny coat. It is so palatable that it can be fed on its own, or with a little TopChop Lite.

Long-term trials have shown that horses and ponies on restricted/poor grazing do not gain any additional weight when fed TopSpec Lite. It can also be used very successfully as part of a calorie-controlled diet when weight loss is required.

TopSpec Lite is suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis. Our nutritionists recommend TopSpec AntiLam is fed to horses and ponies being treated for or recovering from laminitis to provide extra nutritional support.

TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer contains the following features: -

•     An expertly-balanced broad-spectrum supplement, vital for horses and ponies on a restricted diet.

 •     A hoof improvement supplement. Includes the scientifically proven level of Biotin, (15mg/500kg horse/day), which in association with the methionine, cysteine, calcium, zinc, copper, iodine and Vitamin A present, will greatly improve the quality of new hoof growth. Chelated sources of copper and zinc are included in the formulation.

•     Generous levels of antioxidants including Vitamins A, C and E plus selenium.

•     Considered levels of a pure, protected yeast are included to help maintain a healthy hindgut environment, important for horses and ponies on restricted/ poor grazing.

•     It is ‘Non-Heating,’ because it is very low in sugar/starch and high in fibre.

TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer is available in 20kg sacks, which last a 500kg horse for 40 days or a 250kg pony for 80 days.

“After advice from your helpline I started feeding TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer straight away. The most noticeable improvement was her coat. It gleams and when she was clipped her coat was so shiny. I have noticed a difference in her temperament as well, she now has a lovely attitude to her work.”

Helen Platt

“Jake’s hoof condition has never been better since feeding TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer mixed with TopChop Lite. It is worth every penny, the best feed in 30+ years of having horses and ponies”

“Ebony is 21-years-old and only has to look at food to put on weight. However we have found that it is a fine line between her looking fit and in condition to looking a touch poor. She is permanently on restricted grazing along with her 12.2hh companion. Within a week of feeding TopSpec her coat started to gleam, the improvement in such a short period of time has been fantastic. Since talking to one of your team at an open night she now gets the FibrePlus too.”

Vicky Nichols

““Without TopSpec I wouldn’t have a sane and slimmer pony, this is all due to the absolutely fantastic help, advice and support. Thank you from one very happy horse owner who was lost in the sea of horse feed who you found, educated and supported.”
