This summer has been a challenge for horse owners across the UK. With very little rain and parched fields, fields are offering very limited and dry grazing, leaving many of us to start feeding hay or haylage in the field much earlier than usual. This shift in diet brings new challenges, as hay alone may not provide all the essential nutrients your horse needs to thrive.
As a horse owner, you’re likely asking: “what should I feed my horse when there is no grass?” or “what vitamins do horses need on a hay diet?” This is where a scientifically formulated lick can be a game-changer. Horslyx offers a simple, effective solution to bridge the nutritional gap left by dried-out forage.
Why Horslyx is a Must-Have When Grazing is Limited
When grass is scarce, horses may miss out on crucial vitamins and minerals that are normally present in good quantity in fresh grazing. Hay, while a good source of fibre, can be deficient in key nutrients, including vitamins A and E, Copper, Zinc and Selenium. Our scientifically formulated Horslyx balancers are designed to supplement these deficiencies, ensuring your horse receives a balanced diet even when living on dry forage or lower quality grazing.
Key Benefits of Horslyx:
- Scientifically Formulated Lick-Based Nutrition: Each lick is packed with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to support your horse’s overall health and well-being.
- A Balanced Diet: It provides essential nutrients that may be lacking in hay, haylage or pasture, helping to fill the nutritional void.
- Enrichment in the Field: The lick format provides a constant source of enrichment, helping to alleviate boredom and mimic natural grazing behaviour.
- Weatherproof Convenience: Horslyx is fine to be left outside in the field, so you won’t have to worry about a sudden downpour ruining the product.
- Six Unique Formulations: With a range of six balancers including Original, Garlic, Mint, Mobility, Respiratory & Digestion, you can choose a formulation to meet your horse’s individual needs. Find the Horslyx Balancer for your horse here https://www.horslyx.com/horslyx-balancers/
- Size Options for Every Yard: Our 80kg & 40kg Balancer is ideal for groups of horses in a field. For individual horses or smaller groups, the 15kg Horslyx Balancer is designed to be used with its specific holder, and we also offer a convenient 5kg size, which is designed to be used with a 5kg holder.

The need to include hay or haylage to satisfy appetite and fibre requirements when grass levels are low or pasture quality is poor can lead to dietary imbalances. Providing a consistent source of balanced nutrition with a product like Horslyx helps to keep your horse healthy and feeling their best whatever the weather.
