Slim & Trim - New name, same trusted balancer
Slim & Trim – New name, same trusted balancer
If you've spotted a new name on the bag, rest assured, our Low Calorie balancer is now called Slim & Trim. While the name has changed, the trusted, nutrient-rich formula inside remains the same.
Why the new name?
Slim & Trim better reflects what this feed balancer is formulated to do, supporting safe weight loss while ensuring your horse receives all the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
Overweight horses – a growing epidemic
Studies suggest that 60% of leisure horses in the UK are overweight or obese! For many leisure horses and native breeds, carrying excess weight has become so common that it can be difficult to recognise what a healthy body condition should look like.
Unfortunately, excess weight is far more than a cosmetic issue. Overweight horses are at a significantly greater risk of developing long term health problems, including:
- Laminitis
- Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)
- Increased strain on joints and tendons
- Reduced performance and stamina
Helping your horse/pony achieve and maintain a healthy weight is one of the most important things you can do to support their long-term wellbeing.
A common misconception: "My horse needs to lose weight, so i'll just feed less."
It's understandable to think that an overweight horse doesn't need feeding. However, all horses need a balanced supply of vitamins, minerals, micronutrients and quality protein every single day, regardless of their waistline.
Simply reducing or removing feed can leave horses lacking key nutrients needed to support:
- Healthy hooves
- Muscle maintenance
- Digestion
- Immune function
- Skin and coat condition
Weight loss comes from reducing excess calories, not reducing essential nutrition.
This is where Slim & Trim comes in.
As a super concentrated feed balancer, Slim & Trim is formulated to provide the essential nutrients your horse needs in a very small daily serving, while supplying minimal calories.
This means you can support healthy weight loss without compromising on nutrition.
Combined with an appropriate forage ration, careful grazing management and regular exercise where possible, Slim & Trim helps ensure your horse receives a balanced diet while working towards their ideal body condition.
New name. Same trusted formula.
The formula horse owners have trusted for years hasn't changed.
Whether your horse is already on a weight-loss journey or you simply want to support them in maintaining a healthy body condition, Slim & Trim provides the balanced nutrition they need, without the unnecessary calories.
Even horses that need to slim down still deserve to be well fed.
Remember to base your feeding decisions on sound nutritional science and advice from qualified BETA ENFAR equine feed advisers and nutritionists.
