Find the Right Feed
Start with the roughage
Before choosing a Relax feed, look at the pasture or hay your horse has available. Is there enough, and is your horse maintaining condition on it? This helps you decide whether they need more fibre, a source of vitamins and minerals, or additional energy.
Whichever feed you choose, keep suitable roughage and fresh water available. Introduce new feeds gradually and adjust the amount to suit your horse.

A little extra support, when it is needed
Once you’ve chosen the main feed, consider what else your horse’s routine calls for. These products can be added where they suit your horse’s diet, workload and individual needs.
Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil
A source of omega-3 and additional energy that can be added to the daily feed. It’s an option when your horse needs more energy in the bucket, with the added benefit of supporting healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Macrobiotic Lake Salt
Horses need sodium and chloride every day.
Relax Nutrition Macrobiotic Lake Salt complements your horse's daily nutrition by providing a natural source of salt and naturally occurring trace minerals.
Everyday Electrolyte plus Amino
For horses losing electrolytes through exercise and sweating, particularly during hot or humid weather, travel and competition. Use it to support their needs when their workload and conditions call for more than their usual daily salt.
Everyday Joint Formula
A plant-based supplement for horses that need daily joint support, including horses in regular work and older horses. It can be added to the feeding routine without changing the main feed.
Super Protein Plus
For horses that need additional protein and amino acids to support muscle development and recovery. It can be added when your horse’s workload, growth or the protein available from their pasture and hay calls for more targeted support.
Frequently Asked Questions
01. Does “Complete” mean I can skip hay?
No. Super Fibre Complete brings fibre, vitamins, minerals and probiotics together in one pellet, but your horse still needs suitable pasture or hay and fresh water.
02. Can I feed Super Fibre Plus on its own?
Super Fibre Plus adds highly digestible fibre to your horse’s feed and makes a great base for a balancer or supplement. It has no added vitamins or minerals.
03. My pony is a good doer. Where should I start?
Start with their body condition and the pasture or hay they have available. If they’re maintaining condition without a larger bucket feed, Super Balancer Plus or Everyday Vit & Min plus Probiotics can provide vitamins and minerals at a low feed rate. Follow the feeding guide for your pony’s size.
04. My horse has laminitis or EMS. Which Relax feed should I consider?
Super Fibre Plus is a low sugar, low starch source of digestible fibre. When feeding a horse with laminitis or EMS, consider the sugar and starch in their whole diet, including pasture and hay.
05. My older horse struggles to chew hay. Which Relax feed could help?
Super Fibre Plus can be soaked to make a soft, easy-to-eat feed. It adds highly digestible fibre to the bucket for older horses with worn or missing teeth. Check that your horse is getting enough fibre overall, particularly if they can no longer eat much hay.
