Topical Questions & Answers

 

Q. We have a small pony as a companion and he is getting rather overweight. We are maintaining him on a small paddock but I am concerned about laminitis. What can you recommend?

A. Our new Think Laminitix Lick has been designed for exactly this situation. This low sugar lick version means that you dont have to worry about giving any hard feed as he can use it free access. It is formulated to contain broad spectrum vitamins and minerals, a hoof suppliment, and ingredients to maintain circulation and soundness when at risk of the effects of lush grass.

Q. I have read that nicotinamide is good for sweet itch. Does Think Fly contain this?

A. Think Fly contains a whole host of natural ingredients to help protect your horse from fly nuisance. It is a natural feed supplement which builds up in the system to create a shield-like odour around the horse which flies hate. Think Fly is a good natural source of nicotinamide and also contains MSM and zinc for healthy skin.

Q. My daughter's show pony is feeling a bit off form. She is fit and healthy in every way and we try our best to keep her work varied, but she is still feeling a bit lack-lustre. What could cause this?

A. In cases like this, the first thing I always recommend is a course of ProlytePlus. Many people believe that electrolytes are just for eventers and racehorses, but even if your pony is in relatively light work the regular travelling will take a lot out of her. She may just be a bit dehydrated, and ProlytePlus should pick her up again. Failing this, give us a ring so we can discuss your pony's diet in more detail.

Q. My riding club horse has always had a fiery temperament but recently she has started to lose weight, her coat isn't looking great and she has been feeling a bit grumpy. A friend of mine
has suggeste it could be ulcers so the Vet is on his way. Could you tell me about Ulcereze?

A. Recent research has suggested that as many as 37% of leisure horses could be suffering from ulcers, so this conditin is much more widespread than originally thought, and not just confined to the racing industry. Most riding horses are not kept as nature intended so this makes them more prone to stress and digestive upset. Ulcereze is designed to help maintain the whole digestive process. It contains ingredients to help buffer excess acid, glutamine to help maintain a healthy mucosa, live yeast for its probiotic benefits and ingredients to help maintain a healthy pH. Ulcereze is an ideal maintenance product for long-term support of a healthy digestive system.
