The Este Balancer Extra was developed from the desire to create an optimal balancer based on measured nutrient levels in roughage common in our regions (Belgium and the Netherlands). The balancer was designed by veterinarian and European Specialist in Internal Equine Diseases (Dipl. ECEIM), Dr. Sara Torfs, in collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Ghent University. The values are calculated to be sufficient even with a leaner ration, without causing overdose when combined with richer roughage. Honest and environmentally friendly (locally produced), and also affordably priced!
During our research on lick blocks in 2008, we found that the standard lick blocks sold in the Netherlands were not well-suited to a diet primarily consisting of roughage (grass and/or hay) from the Netherlands or Belgium. Three years after the publication, there was still no suitable lick block available, so we decided to produce our ideal lick block ourselves. This lick block, which contains a high level of magnesium and low iron, has become very popular.
Perfect psyllium. Pure and finely ground, with no additives – a true pure product. Because this psyllium is ground, its volume is smaller and its sticky effect is greater. This makes it easier to give horses enough psyllium to prevent sand colic, compared to giving unground psyllium seeds.
Generally, "Psyllium" refers to the husks of the seeds of the "Psyllium plant." The seed husks of this plant have the interesting property that they are poorly digestible and able to absorb a lot of water. As a result, they travel through the entire digestive tract as a sticky mass. It is also noteworthy that the seeds are beneficial both against constipation and loose stool.
