Low Sugar and Starch

Vermont Blend Forage Balancer

Typically you will need three or more supplements to balance grass hay: trace minerals, magnesium and sodium.  On top of that, horses who are lacking topline or have poor hoof quality can benefit from the addition of the amino acids that are most deficient in the equine diet.  Lastly there is the digestive tract. A healthy digestive tract will play a role in all aspects of your horse's health.  Including a prebiotic in your horse's diet ensures a healthy environment for all the beneficial microflora. When you combine these nutrients separately, you end up feeling like your own personal feed manufacturer, mixing this and that. Vermont Blend came about by wanting horse owners to have an easier way. The following chart shows average nutrient levels of hay.

Deficiencies in Hay

Hay is typically deficient in the following nutrients: Magnesium, sodium, copper, zinc, iodine and sometimes selenium.  Long term nutrient deficiencies can result in subclinical symptoms such as poor hoof quality, dull fading coat, compromised immune system, exercise intolerance etc. In addition, excess iron can interfere with the absorption of other trace minerals that are already deficient (zinc & copper).  The average grass hay has twice as much iron than recommended by the National Research Council (NRC) daily requirements. Vermont Blend supplies these minerals to ensure your horse is receiving his or her daily requirements.

Horses tend to love the taste thanks to Diamond V Yeast.  The only ingredients you will find in Vermont Blend is what is needed, nothing more. Manufactured in Vermont. Vermont Blend is safe for horses requiring low sugar and starch diets. 

A Bit About Amino Acids

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Essential amino acids need to be supplied by the diet, horses can’t produce them on their own. If a horse doesn’t have enough of a certain amino acid, it can’t utilize any of the remaining amino acids present in its diet. Common signs of deficiency are lack of topline and hay belly. Vermont Blend provides the top three limited amino acids.

Magnesium and Calcium Ratio

Magnesium and calcium work together for nerve transmission and muscle contraction. The ideal ratio of magnesium to calcium is 1:1 – 1:2. When calcium is too high it will create an imbalance.  Supplementing magnesium will create the proper ratio.  Benefits of magnesium supplementation are a reduction of free radical damage, reduce fatty deposits (cresty neck), lowers circulating insulin levels (beneficial for EMS/IR horses), and stress reduction.

Pellet review

I just tried Vermont blend for the first time a few months ago for a horse of mine who has some special diet needs. I had been considering a balancer for a while , and heard good things about Vermont blend. I needed some kind of dry pellet to add a few meds in, and was happy to see the pellet option. It was an easy transition : we started with a small serving and worked up to her full serving without issue. She seems to love it. It's great not to have to add a zillion supplements and have her waste 50% because it is gross and powdery. I don't see results in her body yet, we are not even through 1/3 a bag yet.

Love the pellet option

I love this supplement and was using the powder before. One horse ate it no issues, one was so so, and the other wouldn't touch it. Saw the pellet options and decided to try it, they love it!! I have been so pleased with how much this has helped my two allergy boys with their coats and overall health. Plus their feet are are the best they've ever been! Definitely recommend this to everyone and I love it's a local business!

My horses LOVE the pellets! They also ate the powder with no issues, but it's easier when I travel to set everything up ahead of time. Both horses are thriving on Vermont Blend.

Fantastic!
