✓ Completes the Forage Ration
✓ Supports Digestive Health
✓ Low Sugar & Starch Formula
✓ Promotes Hoof & Coat Quality
Developed by equine veterinarian Dr. Sara Torfs, Este Balancer was born from a simple observation: even horses on great forage often miss out on the essentials. In her practice, Dr. Torfs noticed a recurring pattern of weak hooves, dull coats, and tired muscles that forage alone couldn't fix.
She created this concentrated balancer to fill those hidden gaps. It’s a straightforward, all-in-one way to give your horse the vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats they need for a shiny coat, strong hooves, and a happy gut.

The Problem
Why Forage Alone Isn't Enough
Modern horses are fed much closer to their natural needs: more forage, less concentrate. That's great for their health. But forage alone leaves real nutritional gaps.
Limited variety vs. wild horses
Wild horses roam across dozens of plant species and varied soils. Domestic horses graze a few grass species on managed land with far less nutritional diversity.
Training increases micronutrient demands
Exercise generates free radicals and increases metabolic demand, particularly for vitamin E, vitamin C, and magnesium, far beyond what forage typically provides.
Blood tests regularly reveal specific deficits
Deficiencies in vitamin E, copper, zinc, and essential amino acids are among the most common findings in clinical practice.
A balancer fills the gap — without extra calories
Forage provides energy and fibre. A balancer provides precision nutrition, the exact micronutrients most missing in a modern domestic horse's diet.

Formula Highlights
What Makes Este Balancer Different
Most balancers cover basics. Este Balancer addresses the real-world deficiencies Dr. Torfs observed in blood work — in one coherent, science-based formula.
Linseed + Linseed Oil
A natural source of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) for skin and coat condition. Este is the only balancer in the comparison that includes linseed oil for optimal fat absorption.
Lysine, Methionine & Threonine
The three most limiting amino acids for horses. Only Este includes all three — critical for muscle development, hoof and coat quality, and tissue repair.
1,500 IU Vitamin E + 1,000 mg Vitamin C
Working horses produce free radicals that damage tissues. Este's antioxidant levels are among the highest on the market.
Deliberately Iron-Free
Most horses already receive excess iron through forage and water. Adding more can suppress copper and zinc absorption. A deliberate, evidence-based choice.
Very Low Sugar & Starch
Only 3.5% starch and 4.2% sugar. Safe for EMS, PPID, and laminitis-prone horses.
Suitable For
Is Este Balancer Right for My Horse?
Este Balancer was designed to be sufficient with poorer hay, yet safe alongside richer forage. It suits virtually every horse on a forage-based diet.
Easy Keepers & Metabolic Horses
Low calorie, low sugar, grain-free. Provides full micronutrition without adding unwanted weight. Ideal for EMS, PPID, laminitis, and overweight horses.
Forage-Based & Restricted Diet Horses
Perfect for horses fed mainly hay or grass with little or no concentrate — especially where hay quality varies or is unknown.
Sport & Working Horses
High vitamin E, C, magnesium, and trace minerals support recovery, oxidative balance, and performance in horses in regular work.
Growing, Breeding & Developing Horses
Complete amino acid profile (lysine, methionine, threonine) supports muscle development, healthy growth, and condition in young horses and breeding mares.
