HIGH PROTEIN, LOW STARCH BALANCER
A low feeding rate pellet rich in quality protein, amino acids, vitamins and chelated minerals for balanced nutrition.
Formulation Highlights:
- SMALL FEED, MAXIMUM RESULTS: Hygain Balanced® delivers a concentrated blend of vitamins and minerals, so you only need a small daily portion to meet nutritional requirements. This reduces the volume of hard feed required, making it ideal for good-doing or overweight horses.
- QUALITY PROTEIN: Protein needs increase with workload, growth and pregnancy. Hygain Balanced® provides 25% quality protein for muscle development making it perfect for horses in work, mares in foal and youngstock.
- DIGESTIVE HEALTH: Hygain Balanced® contains just 5% starch, with prebiotics and probiotics to promote healthy gut fermentation and a balanced digestive environment. Its low feeding rate further reduces starch intake to support digestive wellbeing.
- ADVANCED NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT: Natural RRR-α-tocopherol Vitamin E, bio-available selenium and biotin provide antioxidant protection, support cardiovascular health and promote healthy coats, skin and hooves.

Testimonials
Victoria Davies - Tokyo Paralympian
“I have been feeding Hygain Balanced for nine years now on a number of different horses from Spanish PRE, Lusitano and Warmblood that have been breeding and performance stallions, broodmares or performance mares. Hygain Balanced is a balancer feed, so you only have to feed a small amount and the horse will get its full daily requirements of nutrients, vitamins and energy! I was also drawn to Hygain Balanced for it’s high levels of Vitamin E, Biotin and Prebiotics. My four High Performance stallions, ranging from 3 to 14 years all thrive on this hard feed, their coats are glossy, their hooves grow tremendously well and what is important - this does not fizz or make any of my horses hot and economically it is fantastic- a little goes a long way!”
DONNA EDWARDS-SMITH - TOP NZ EVENTER
"I run a team with a wide range of horses, therefore I need a core feed that suits them all; the hot horses, the horses with metabolic issues, the horses prone to tying up etc. Hygain Balanced covers all of our team of horses. Balanced is very economical feed, however it also has an amazing nutrient profile which allows the good doers to maintain their weight whilst we can add a fattener for the lighter horses and know that they are nutrient covered by the balanced feed, without the energy and heat other feeds create."

"At Dynamik Stallions the staple pellet we can’t live without is HYGAIN BALANCED®. This pellet gives us confidence that all our ponies are receiving the daily vitamins and mineral they require in a convenient low dose. This pellet is perfect to feed to ponies that are good doers as it does not create any fizzy behaviour and the ponies look healthy and shiny fed with good quality fibre sources. One of the most useful things about feeding HYGAIN BALANCED® is that you can be assured that the daily nutrient requirements are met by making up the shortfalls in a diet."
Jenny Gehrke - Grand Prix Dressage Rider
"One of my top competition horses recently contracted a virus and had to have a few months off. I took him off his regular higher energy feed and put him onto Balanced. He did very well on this feed, and he has come back in to work months earlier than expected. He looks so good that I swapped my other horses onto it too. Coupled with the amazing RBO oil supplement the feed gives the horses just the right amount of cool energy and they look and feel great. I have fed Hygain feeds for nearly 30 years and whatever the horse they have the right feed for my needs.”
