The bundle for healthy digestion

Horses and ponies with loose manure, faecal water, flatulence or a sensitive stomach, especially when you cut back on sugary hard feed and need to fill the vitamin and mineral gaps. Always have your vet check first: teeth, sand, parasites and any colic history all deserve a look.

No. With faecal water the manure itself is usually well formed, but liquid passes separately, before, during or after it. In affected horses, the manure holds less water (Lindroth et al., 2022), which is why fibre and gut support matter.

Concentrates carry most of a horse’s vitamins and trace minerals. A forage-only ration usually leaves gaps in copper, zinc, selenium and vitamin E. ESTE Balancer fills those gaps with only 4.2% sugar and 3.5% starch, so you don’t put the sugar back.

Not necessarily. In a study of 50 farms, horses with and without faecal water ate the same amount of wrapped forage. What differed was the rest of the ration: affected horses got about twice as much concentrate (Lindroth et al., 2021). Start by cutting hard feed and adding long fibre, such as straw or lucerne.

Set your horse’s weight in the pack selector and each pack shows how many days it lasts for that weight. For a 500 kg horse, the small pack lasts about 1 month, the medium pack about 2 months and the large pack about 3 months. Compared with buying both separately, the small pack is 5% better value, the medium pack 7.5% and the large pack 10%. Every pack comes with a free ESTE dosage cup.

That varies. Some horses respond to a ration change within a month, others take longer. Give each change 3 to 4 weeks before you judge it, and change one thing at a time.

They do different jobs at very different doses. ESTE Balancer is a daily feed you dose by weight: 50 g per 100 kg. Guts & Glory is a concentrated supplement: 15 g (1 scoop) for a 500 kg horse. Keeping them separate means each one is dosed right, and you can adjust one without touching the other.

Keep your Guts & Glory. ESTE Balancer is the daily base that goes with it: 29.3 g protein plus the vitamins and minerals hay leaves out, in one daily cup for a 500 kg horse, with only 4.2% sugar and 3.5% starch. Make your next Guts & Glory order this bundle and get both at up to 10% better value.

ESTE Balancer completes the ration. Guts & Glory adds daily support for the stomach and gut: 5 probiotic strains, digestive enzymes and support for the gut lining.

Guts & Glory supports horses with a sensitive digestive system that react to diet changes and stress, with probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes. If loose manure keeps coming back, always have your vet check your horse.

Ask your vet first. For ESTE Balancer, we recommend raising the dose by 20% from the third trimester and keeping it there during lactation.

No. Guts & Glory contains oat meal, and oats are naturally gluten-free. For horses with a gluten intolerance or extreme sensitivity, we still recommend caution: oats are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat or barley, so trace cross-contamination can’t be 100% ruled out.

Yes, when you combine several feeds. Total selenium should stay under 3 mg a day, so check the selenium content of every concentrate and supplement in the ration.

A small daily feed that adds the vitamins, minerals and protein building blocks a horse needs on top of grass and hay. You feed a few hundred grams instead of kilos of grain mix, so the ration stays low in sugar. Este Balancer is a pellet: one full dosage cup a day for a 500 kg horse.

Yes. Many owners use the balancer to replace that scoop. If you keep some, reduce the balancer by 50 g for every 1 kg of concentrate a day, and talk to your vet about the total ration.
